⭐ Bookmark this actor — it helps keep it visible on the Apify Store.

Look up Belgium companies by enterprise number (name search needs a residential proxy) and get the full company record — identity and legal status (active, liquidation, insolvency, struck off) — straight from the official BCE / KBO (Crossroads Bank for Enterprises). Every result carries legal form, registered address, incorporation date, activity and VAT where the registry publishes them. Batch dozens in one run. Rich JSON, no API key. Think of it as Pappers, but for Belgium.

ℹ️ Lookup by enterprise number works directly. Name search reads the public BCE / KBO (Crossroads Bank for Enterprises) portal, which rate-limits datacenter IPs — enable the residential proxy option for reliable name search.

🔐 Name search needs a residential proxy. This registry's public portal blocks datacenter IPs. Enable the residential Apify Proxy option for name search; ID lookups work without it.

Can I look a company up by its enterprise number? Yes — set mode: lookup and pass the enterprise number in query (or a list in queries).

Is this legal? It reads only public official-registry information and degrades gracefully (no result rather than an error) when the source is unavailable.
