Colombia Company Due Diligence by NIT

One clean JSON report per Colombian company, from 8 official public sources, in seconds. Paste one or thousands of NITs (Colombian tax IDs) and get, for each company:

• ✅ Business registry (RUES): legal name, legal form, registration status (active / cancelled), chamber of commerce, registration and last renewal dates, CIIU activity codes.
• 🏛️ Public procurement (SECOP II): number and total value of public contracts, first/last contract dates, top 5 public buyers and the most recent contracts with links.
• ⚠️ Fines and sanctions: SECOP I and SECOP II procurement fines, plus sanctions by the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC).
• 🌐 Watchlist screening: UN Security Council Consolidated List and US Treasury OFAC SDN list (legal name, aliases, and the NIT inside OFAC remarks).
• 🚦 Risk level LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / UNKNOWN with human-readable reasons in English or Spanish.

Other Colombian actors return one raw dataset. This one joins the registry, procurement history, fines and international watchlists by NIT and explains the result. Use it for supplier onboarding, KYB, credit pre-screening, sales qualification or procurement audits.

Pricing

Pay per result: USD 0.02 per company report (USD 20 per 1,000 results). No subscription. Published per-report prices of local company-report providers in Colombia start around COP 15,000–40,000 (about USD 5–13) per company; this actor covers the public-data part for a fraction of that.

Privacy and compliance

• Legal entities only. IDs that belong to natural persons are returned as NOT_PROCESSED with no personal data (Colombian personal-data law, Ley 1581 de 2012).
• No personal contact data (names of representatives, personal e-mails or phones) is ever returned.
• Data is queried live from the official open-data APIs at run time; nothing is resold from a stored copy.
• Name-based watchlist hits are possible matches; confirm before acting. A NIT found in OFAC remarks is marked strong.
• This is not an official certificate (Certificado de Existencia y Representación Legal) and not a credit score.

FAQ

How fast is it? About 2–6 seconds per company (the UN and OFAC lists are downloaded once per run). Can I run it from n8n, Make or Python? Yes: use the Apify API or the official integrations; results come as JSON, CSV or Excel. What if a source is down? The report is still produced and lists the missing source in sourceErrors. Spanish? Set "language": "es".
