Find an embassy contact stateside or overseas. They should be able to tell you of agencies that verify businesses in Europe. The consulate's office may be able to help, also.

I have been and lived in Europe. If it's not a major or medium sized company, beware. You cannot find out if a company is real, being that far and you might get scammed. So the only thing you can do is google their name (hopefully a website will pop up that looks like some good working and professionnal website (like www.askmen.com or www.yahoo.com, or www.hrblock.com), although young europeen are some crazy designers and besides that, check with their local white pages to see if they have a legit physical address.
