The risk flags

Every flag is a verifiable registry fact, never a score or an opinion:

• status:ceased — the company is no longer administratively active.
• closed — a closure date is on record.
• no-open-establishments — registered as active but with zero open sites.
• under-1-year-old — incorporated less than a year ago. Not bad in itself, but it changes the risk of extending payment terms.
• no-officers-on-record — no directors listed in the national register.

Your policy decides what combination is a dealbreaker. The report just makes sure you never miss one.

Use cases

• KYC and vendor onboarding — verify a French counterparty exists, is active, and who runs it.
• Lead enrichment — NAF activity code, company size, employee range, head office coordinates for B2B prospecting and territory mapping.
• Watchlists — pass up to 50 companies per run, schedule it, and catch a status change or a director leaving the day the registry updates.
• AI agents — exposed as an MCP tool, so an agent can answer "is this French supplier still active and who are its directors?" in one call.

Input

companies (names or 9-digit SIREN, up to 50) or query for a single lookup. Narrow name searches with departement (e.g. 75 for Paris) or nafCode. Turn on includeAlternatives to see other companies that matched a name — the cheapest way to avoid acting on the wrong entity.

Pricing

Pay per event: charged only for profiles actually delivered. Companies not found and failed lookups are free.
