What you see
The Group structure card sits on the company profile right below the commercial register:
| Row | Content |
|---|---|
| Ultimate parent | the top of the group, for example Siemens AG |
| Direct parent | the company one level up, if it is a different one |
| Direct subsidiaries | six visible at once, up to 30 to expand |
German companies link to their Implisense profile, foreign ones carry their country. The link „Record at GLEIF“ leads to the complete record.
That helps when a sales GmbH or a holding turns up in a conversation: you see who decides in the group and find sister companies that might need the same thing.
How you can tell it worked
You can name the chain from the company up to the ultimate parent and have the sister companies on a list. If the card shows a reason instead of a parent, that is an answer in itself: the company is not consolidated in any group accounts.
The honest limit
The data comes from GLEIF and exists only for companies with an LEI. Many smaller mid-sized firms have none; then the card does not appear. An LEI is needed mainly by companies that trade securities or derivatives.
Consolidation, not shareholdings. GLEIF reports who consolidates whom in the group accounts. Who holds how many shares is in the shareholder list.
Visible on the Plus plan and on unlocked profiles. On the free plan you unlock a single profile for 5 Implicents; after that you see its group structure too. On the Plus plan it costs nothing.
