How much a single Cribis report costs, without an annual subscription
Published on · Updated to
In brief: yes, it is possible to buy a Cribis report (through iCRIBIS) as a one-off purchase, without signing a subscription — the idea that an annual contract is necessarily required is not correct. The more useful question is not "can I buy just one?" but "what does that single report contain compared with what is actually needed before invoicing, signing or recovering a debt".
Yes, a single report can be bought
iCRIBIS publishes a price list with several reports that can be bought individually, with no subscription obligation — useful information to have before assuming that the only route is a recurring contract. The basic reports (company register data, balance sheet, risk indicators) range from about €22 to €45 depending on depth; a report that includes the beneficial owner requires at least €85, and one with dedicated anti-money-laundering checks €160 — always check the current price directly on their website at the time of purchase, as price lists change over time.
What it typically includes, and what it does not
Basic reports of this kind focus on company register data, balance sheet and credit risk indicators — solid content for many uses. Two items that are left out of the cheaper tiers are the beneficial owner (reconstructed under the three-level criterion of art. 20 of Legislative Decree 231/2007, D.Lgs. 231/2007) and the anti-money-laundering (AML) checks linked to the declared purpose of the transaction — always check exactly what the specific report you are about to buy includes, as price lists and contents can vary over time and by product type.
Why the beneficial owner and AML checks matter, and are not a technical detail
If the reason you are checking a company is to understand who really controls it — before signing an important agreement, admitting a partner or granting exclusivity — the beneficial owner is often the most relevant data of all, more than solvency alone. A report that does not include it requires a separate search of the Business Register to reconstruct it (see the dedicated guide), with the time and interpretation this entails.
How it compares with a Veryfy report
The Veryfy report (from €19, the most affordable tier) includes the beneficial owner, shareholders and directors, rating and estimated operating credit line, negative records and sector quintiles in a single purchase — the practical difference is not only price, but what comes already included in the first tier, without having to buy additional products to complete the picture.
Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a Cribis report without subscribing to iCRIBIS?
Yes: iCRIBIS publishes a price list with several reports that can be bought individually — the basic reports range from about €22 to €45; to include the beneficial owner you need to go up to at least €85, and for dedicated anti-money-laundering checks, €160. Always check the up-to-date price on their website.
What is typically missing from the cheaper Cribis reports?
The beneficial owner (reconstructed under the three-level criterion of art. 20 of Legislative Decree 231/2007, D.Lgs. 231/2007) and the dedicated anti-money-laundering checks remain outside the cheaper tiers — always check exactly what the specific report includes before buying it.
Why does the beneficial owner matter if it is not included in a basic report?
If the purpose of the check is to understand who really controls a company — before signing an important agreement, admitting a partner or granting exclusivity — the beneficial owner is often the most relevant piece of data of all, more than solvency alone.
