❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

From kbopub.economie.fgov.be, the Belgian Federal Public Service Economy's official KBO/CBE Public Search registry.

Why are some company names in French, Dutch, and German?

Belgian companies are typically registered with names in two or three official languages. The actor returns each registered name with its language tag.

What's the difference between KBO and CBE?

Same registry, different language acronyms: KBO is Dutch (Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen), CBE is French (Carrefour des Entreprises). The actor accepts the language parameter to control which acronym appears in field labels.

Can I search by company name?

No. The KBO public search is direct-by-number only; name search is restricted. Use a separate Belgian directory to find numbers, then feed them in here.

How do I find a Belgian enterprise number?

Enterprise numbers are 10 digits and appear on every Belgian invoice, BTW/TVA registration, and corporate filing. They're also indexed by every Belgian B2B directory.
