Use cases
16 concrete situations, from verifying a supplier before payment to anticipating public-contract expiries. Each page states what the routes do, what they do not do, and what the figures are worth.
- Verify a supplier before you pay them
One call, one verdict: active company number, VAT validated live at VIES, IBAN form-checked, bank identified. No account, no API key, paid per call. - Cross-check the identifiers printed on an invoice you received
An invoice's VAT number can be valid at VIES yet belong to another company than the printed number. One call cross-checks all three identifiers. - Preparing supplier master data for the French e-invoicing mandate
Reception becomes mandatory on 1 September 2026 for every VAT-liable French company. Clean 2 to 100 suppliers per call, with per-block provenance. - Validate an intra-community VAT number
Live validation against VIES for every EU member state, with the consultation identifier kept as proof. An outage is never served as an invalid number. - Assessing a customer's default risk
A 0-100 score at ~12 months, computed at call time from filed accounts, with every component, its threshold and a confidence level. - Monitoring a portfolio of customers or suppliers
1 to 100 targets checked daily against official sources, for 30, 90 or 365 days. Ed25519-signed webhook, e-mail digest, and always pollable. - Detecting insolvency proceedings
Administration, liquidation, deregistration: by company number or by criteria. Czech, British and Latvian registers also covered. - Comparing companies on official data
2 to 5 companies side by side: identity, default-risk score, latest statutory accounts, alerts. A comparability block flags when the comparison is meaningless. - Automating business verification (KYB)
One call, a full company file: identity, officers, legal alerts, commercial-court decisions, accounts, sanctions screening, each block with its provenance. - Screening a counterparty against sanctions lists
UN, EU, OFAC, United Kingdom, French asset freezes, Swiss SECO. Fuzzy matching with a 0-100 confidence score per hit — never a bare yes/no. - Identifying who controls a company, without naming a natural person
The UK PSC register restricted to legal entities, French ownership from filed articles of association; natural persons are counted, never named. - Checking a provider's authorisation
Payment, e-money, insurance, telecoms, asset management, crypto: three official registers by company number, plus the ESMA registers by name. - Checking a French association by its RNA number
Title, purpose, position, office and Official Journal notices of a French association, with or without a SIREN: three pay-per-call routes, limits stated. - Anticipating public-contract expiries
Buyers typically re-tender 4 to 9 months before expiry. Filter contracts ending inside your window by CPV segment and department, with the incumbent holder. - Building a B2B prospecting list
Multi-criteria filters over the complete registry: activity, area, legal form, workforce, age, certifications. 100 active companies per page. - Querying European company registers
One response shape for 15 countries, plus what each register does not publish. Belgian, Danish, British and Swedish annual accounts.
