Company France opens up the INSEE SIRENE register: look up a French business by name, SIREN or SIRET across more than 29.7 million companies, with detailed records and alerts.
INSEE keeps the SIRENE register, which identifies every French business and each of its establishments. Company France gives you access to that official data through an interface designed for fast searching.
Each record shows the legal form, NAF code, headcount and administrative status. You can also browse the history of changes, then receive an alert as soon as a record you follow evolves.
Espero-Soft works on both sides of the border, from Brussels and Lille. A Belgian SME that sells into France or buys from a French supplier often has to check a partner it barely knows. French identifiers also follow a different logic from the Belgian one: instead of a single enterprise number, a SIREN covers the business and a SIRET covers each establishment.
Company France meets that need. You confirm that a business exists, that it still trades and that its SIRET matches the establishment sending you an invoice.
Search by name, SIREN, SIRET, NAF code or location to find a business or one of its establishments.
Legal form, headcount, NAF code and administrative status, gathered on a single page.
Trace how a business evolves as the register receives new updates.
Receive a notification whenever a record you follow changes.
Plug SIRENE data into your CRM, back office or online forms.
Every detail comes from the INSEE SIRENE register, synchronised on a regular basis.
A business name, a 9-digit SIREN or a 14-digit SIRET.
The SIRET tells apart each establishment of the same business.
Switch on an alert to hear about the next changes.
Target French companies by sector, size and location.
Vet your customers and suppliers before you sign a contract.
Pre-fill a customer file from a single SIREN, with no retyping.
Analyse a business sector using official data.
The SIREN has 9 digits and identifies the business itself. The SIRET has 14: it adds a 5-digit number, the NIC, that belongs to each establishment. Company France accepts both in its search.
From the SIRENE register that INSEE, the French national statistics institute, maintains. Company France synchronises its records with that official source on a regular basis.
INSEE assigns the NAF code, also known as the APE code, to describe a firm's main activity. For instance, it helps you target a sector or check that a supplier really works in the trade it claims.
The administrative status shows whether the business still operates or has ceased trading. Before you sign with a French partner, this single field keeps you from dealing with a closed firm.
No, browsing the records stays free. The integration API works on a pay-as-you-go basis, for teams that want to automate their checks.
