We are happy to announce that we have a new live connection. We have just released an integration with the Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA) to get data in real-time about companies registered in Botswana.

With this new integration the below functions are available:

• Live search by number
• Live search by name
• Refresh dataset
• Register Report document
• Annual Accounts document
• Articles of Association document

The data about the company contains various datapoints, including legalForm and providedStatus, and key officers, like directors and shareholders.

The Articles of Association document is the combination of the contents of the following documents provided by CIPA (when available): ‘Certificate of Incorporation’ and the ‘Constitutional Documents’.
