How does Power Search classify and display Israeli corporate types?

The way company legal forms work in Israel is different from Germany, the vast majority of companies are Limited Liability Companies (Ltd). This is because Israeli company law uses Ltd. as the standard company form for most incorporated businesses. Whether companies are public or private, Israeli or foreign is a matter of corporate type rather than legal form.

Since both public and private companies have the Ltd. legal form, North Data’s Power Search filters work somewhat differently for Israel compared to other countries.

• Applying the filter corporation will show publicly traded companies that are registered in Israel or at least have an Israeli subsidiary.
• The filter limited liability company will show all limited liability companies operating in Israel, this includes private and public Israeli companies (Ltd.), as well as foreign companies with comparable legal forms, such as the Dutch BV.
• The filter for the legal form בע״מ will only show companies incorporated in Israel, this excludes all foreign companies.
