French Company Search (SIRENE): SIREN, Revenue, Activity

Search the official French company directory or look up SIREN/SIRET numbers, and get one clean row per company:

• Identity: SIREN, name, acronym, legal form (SAS, SARL, SA…), founding date, active or closed
• Activity: NAF/APE code and section
• Size: INSEE size category (PME, ETI, GE) and employee range with its year
• Head office: SIRET, full address, postal code, city, department, region, GPS coordinates, trade name and shop signs
• Establishments: total and currently open
• Money: intra-EU VAT number, latest revenue and net income where published, plus history
• Labels: e.g. organic (bio), RGE, Qualiopi, ESS, collective agreement on file
• A link to the company's official page on annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr

Search by name/keywords and any mix of filters: NAF codes, postal codes, departments, size category, minimum employees, active only.

Data comes from the French government's API Recherche d'entreprises (INSEE SIRENE + RNE), published as open data. No key, no login.

Who it's for

• B2B sales and marketing: lists of companies by activity, area and size, with VAT numbers.
• Finance and KYB: verify SIREN/SIRET, status, legal form and VAT in bulk.
• Market research: count and map companies by sector and region (GPS included).

Privacy, on purpose

• Company officers (dirigeants) are never returned.
• Sole traders are excluded by default: their business name is usually the owner's own name.
• Entries whose owners asked INSEE not to publish their details (non-diffusible) are skipped.

Pricing

You pay per company returned. Errors and not-found numbers are free. See the Pricing tab.

Limits, honestly

• The API returns at most 10,000 companies per search. Add filters (activity, department, size) to split large searches.
• Postal-code and department filters match companies with any establishment there; the head office shown may be elsewhere.
• Revenue and net income exist only for companies that filed public accounts (many small companies don't, or file confidentially).
