The BaFin company database is the German financial supervisor’s searchable record of the undertakings it supervises. It covers credit institutions, leasing and factoring institutions, financial services institutions, capital management companies and further supervised categories, and carries the date its data was last updated.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Not established The overall access position has not been established from an official source. It is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be open.

Assessment
Strengths
It is the supervisor’s own database, so it is the national source rather than a European compilation of national notifications.
It distinguishes supervised categories explicitly, so a credit institution is not conflated with a financial services institution or a capital management company.
The page states the date to which its data is current, which makes the freshness of an answer checkable rather than assumed.
Limitations
It records supervision status only. It is not a statement about an institution’s solvency, conduct or the suitability of its products.
Warning lists and unauthorised-business notices are published elsewhere by the same supervisor, so this database is not where a reader learns that a firm is not permitted.
No query was executed during verification, so result formatting, export options and any rate limit are unestablished and are not asserted.
Submission guidance
Records are created through incorporation, registration, filing, or statutory processes.

Best for
Checking whether a German financial undertaking is supervised, and in which supervised category it falls.
Reaching the supervisor’s own record of an institution rather than an aggregated European compilation.
Not recommended for
Finding warnings about unauthorised firms, which the supervisor publishes separately from this database.
Treating supervision as endorsement. The database records that an undertaking is supervised, not that it is sound or well run.
Preparation checklist
No checklist recorded yet.
Common mistakes
No common mistakes recorded yet.
Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
