Company Extensions and Security Identifiers

Page history last edited by Anneli Sarkanen 9 years, 2 months ago

 This website provides definitions of company "extensions" and security identifiers: http://www.corporateinformation.com/Company-Extensions-Security-Identifiers.aspx

While U.S. companies are usually followed by "Inc.", many foreign companies have different endings. This website tells you what these terms mean, and where they are used. If you don't know what country a company is based in, this list of identifers might help narrow your search.

Bonds and stocks usually have one or more identifier codes, issued by various clearing houses or other agencies. The purpose of these identifiers is to prevent confusion when discussing a particular security, particularly a bond. While a company will usually only have one class of stock, it can have many different bond issues. There is a list of various security identifiers along with information about their structure and issuers on this site.

Just a note to say I found this really useful. Had a company with the ending "NV" and not sure which country it was in. Found out was likely either Belgium or Netherlands so able to limit down search a lot!
