Important changes regarding our French connection 

Posted 2023-05-23 | Updated 2023-06-04

We inform you that, due to legislative changes in France, as announced in January (read here the details), we are adjusting our setup for the French connection accordingly.  

The changes are to be released end of May and are the following:

  • The source for the data is National Business Register (Le Registre National des Enterprises – RNE), distributed through the National Industrial Property Institute (INPI, standing for Institut national de la propriété industrielle in French)
  • The refresh dataset will bear no government fees, and will contain more datapoints, such as ‘siret’, ‘shareCapital’, and most important – ‘officers’ (which were not available before though this dataset). The government fee is 0. 
  • We will offer the following documents: Registration Details (ADDOFDIFR), Annual Accounts (ADDAADIFR), Articles of Association (ADDASDIFR), and various Official Filings (DOCOFDIFR). The government fee is 0. 
  • We will continue to source shareholder data for the superdataset from Infogreffe, as this data is not available via INPI. The government fee for the superdataset will decrease to 3 EUR.  

Search by name / number is not affected.   

UBO discovery coverage is not affected.
