French Company Register

What does French Company Register do?

French Company Register searches the official French company directory (SIRENE, Annuaire des Entreprises) and returns clean, structured company data: SIREN and SIRET, name, legal form, NAF/APE activity code, size category, employee range, head office address, revenue and net income, VAT number and labels such as RGE or Qualiopi. You can search by industry, location, size, revenue and labels, or look up a list of SIREN numbers you already have.

The data comes from the official API Recherche d'entreprises of the French state, no scraping of web pages. It is published under the Licence Ouverte 2.0. The Actor returns legal persons only: no directors or elected officials, no sole traders, no personal names.

Typical uses:

• Enrich your customer or supplier list with official data from a list of SIREN numbers
• Company verification (KYB): check legal form, status, creation date and VAT number before onboarding
• Market sizing by activity code, region and company size
• Find certified suppliers, e.g. RGE-certified builders or Qualiopi training providers in a département
• Automations and AI agents that need reliable French company data

How to use French Company Register

1. Either paste Company numbers to look up (SIREN or SIRET), or choose search filters such as NAF codes, départements and company size.
2. Keep Only active companies enabled to skip ceased companies, and add revenue or label filters if you need them.
3. Set Maximum results to cap the number of companies and the cost, click Start, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or schedule the run.

FAQ

Where does the data come from, and may I reuse it?

From the official API Recherche d'entreprises of the French state, which powers the Annuaire des Entreprises and is based on INSEE SIRENE and the national company register. The data is published under the Licence Ouverte 2.0, which allows commercial reuse with attribution. Keep the source field when you republish the data.

Why are there no directors, sole traders or personal names?

By design. The Actor returns legal persons only. Directors and elected officials are never requested, sole traders and groups of private persons are excluded, and address supplements that may name a private person are removed. Companies that are not fully public in SIRENE are skipped.

Why do I get at most 10,000 companies?

The official API returns at most 10,000 companies per search. Narrow your filters, for example by département or employee range, and run several searches to cover more.

Why is the head office outside my area?

Location filters match companies with at least one establishment in the area. The fields starting with matchingEstablishment show that establishment.

Why is revenue empty for some companies?

Only companies that publish their accounts have revenue and net income in the register.

Can I use it through the API or with AI agents?

Yes. Every input field is documented for API and MCP use. Call the Actor with a JSON input like {"companyNumbers": ["380474494"]} or {"nafCodes": ["62.01Z"], "departements": ["75"]}.

Do you have data for other countries?

Yes, public tenders: German Public Tenders for Germany and the EU, UK Public Tenders for the United Kingdom.
