What kind of data I will get

It depends on which data types you will choose: Possible data types include:

  • Company Profile - This data type provides an overview of a company's legal information, such as their identification, operational status, and any other relevant details, which is typically obtained from the company's official registration documents.

  • Company Officers - This data type provides information about officers, whether legal entities or natural persons, who are authorized to act and speak on behalf of a company. They typically occupy one or more high-ranking positions in the organizational structure.

  • Background Check - A background check involves researching the history of management, ownership, and direction of companies associated with your user. It provides a visual representation of the connections between your user and other entities such as companies they have been involved in, parent/sister/subsidiary companies, and officers. This gives insight into the people and companies associated with your user and any possible risks or disasters associated with them.

  • Beneficial Owners - This type provides data about people who benefit from, own, or control the company

  • Articles of Association - This document represents the most recent version of the company's articles of association. The articles of association, also known as the certificate of incorporation, play a vital role in establishing the company. They outline the company's structure, governance rules, relationships with external parties, and interactions among various stakeholders, such as shareholders, partners, owners, and executives.

  • AVIS Siren - This document serves as the identification record for an organization registered with INSEE. It is notably less comprehensive compared to a trade registration (K / K-Bis) extract, and is often insufficient to hold legal significance for commercial companies. In such cases, a recent trade registration extract is typically the required document.

  • Registration Proof - This document is a record with a specific date that holds the company's official identification and registration details as recorded in the Trade and Business registry. It serves as a valuable tool for verifying the company's registration, status, and organizational structure.

  • Corporate Office - In France, it is mandatory for business enterprises to register the places where they conduct their operations within one month of commencing their activities. While this API refers to these places as "offices," they can actually encompass a wide range of locations, including branches, stores, factories, and various other types of facilities.
