BODACC Watch — French Company Legal Announcements

Official legal announcements for every French company, as clean JSON. Source: BODACC (Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales, published by DILA) — the French state register where insolvencies, bankruptcies, business sales, incorporations and strike-offs are legally published.

Built for AI agents, due diligence, KYC/KYB, credit risk and sales intelligence workflows.

What you get

One JSON record per announcement:

• siren, company, city, postal_code, department, region
• family (collective proceedings / sales & transfers / incorporations / modifications / strike-offs / account deposits)
• notice_type, court, publication_date, announcement_number
• judgment, persons, establishments, deposit (parsed JSON when available)
• raw: the full source record, always included

Use cases

• Insolvency monitoring: alert when a customer or supplier enters collective proceedings (redressement, liquidation judiciaire)
• KYB / due diligence: pull the full legal-announcement history of a SIREN before signing
• Deal sourcing: daily feed of business sales (ventes et cessions) in a region
• Market intel: new incorporations by department and date

Input

Query by SIREN list, company name, announcement family, department and date range — or pass a raw ODSQL customWhere for full control (ideal for agents).

Data license & GDPR

Data comes from official French open data (BODACC, published by DILA) under the French Open License (Licence Ouverte), which allows commercial reuse with attribution. This actor builds no persistent database: each run returns only the results of your query. Announcements may contain personal data about individuals (officers, sole traders); as a reuser you are responsible for the GDPR compliance of your own downstream processing (purpose limitation, retention, data-subject rights). Do not use this actor to build people-prospecting files.

Notes

• This actor queries the official open-data portal; it does not scrape protected content.
• Up to 5 000 results per run, newest first.
• Mots-cles : procedures collectives, liquidation judiciaire, redressement, radiation, immatriculation, vente de fonds de commerce, annonces legales, surveillance SIREN.
