France Company Search (SIRENE): find French companies by NAF code, department, size and revenue

Build lists of French companies from the official open data (SIRENE + RNE, via the government's Annuaire des Entreprises API). Filter by NAF/APE activity code, department, postal code, region, size band, legal form, revenue and labels (RGE, Qualiopi, bio, ESS). Every row has SIREN, head-office SIRET, intra-EU VAT number, address with GPS, employee band, latest revenue and net income. No login, no proxy, results in seconds.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.003 per company ($3 per 1,000). No subscription. A search that finds nothing finishes successfully with an empty dataset and costs only the tiny start fee (nothing is charged per result).

Privacy, data source and limits

• Company-level data only. No directors, no person names, no personal contact data. Sole traders (entrepreneurs individuels, whose company name is a person's name) are excluded.
• Data: SIRENE (INSEE) and RNE (INPI) as published by the French administration through the open API Recherche d'entreprises (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr), reusable under the Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0. Companies that opted out of public release (non-diffusibles) are not in the source.
• The API returns at most 10,000 matches per search. Split very large searches by department or size band.
• Not affiliated with INSEE, INPI or the French government. Check the official record before relying on a result.
