Do I find my SIREN number in France?
The SIREN code is a unique number, reserved for each legal entity individually established in France, regardless of its location or activity, to be able to identify it within the national and international firm registry, as well as in business transactions. The SIREN is assigned by the INPI (National Institute for Industrial Property) to the individual establishment.
Its role is to identify a legal entity, and it may be included in all contracts, bills, orders, sales receipts and other commercial documents. It is also necessary to designate a firm as a party to an action or a defendant in a lawsuit. The SIREN is used by the National Institute for Industrial Property (INPI) to identify any legal entity registered in the commercial registry.
It is information of fundamental importance for those who want to carry out investigative activities on French companies because they can act as a link between their legal form and their economic activity.
It is also used as an indicator of the internationalization of French companies. The SIREN is obligatory for the purposes of trading between two or more entities in France. Its obligations include filling out specific forms before concluding a contract with a firm or purchasing goods from them.
Use an API
Data about companies is necessary for various reasons. If you need to analyze your competitors’ business strategies, evaluate various company mergers and acquisitions, and make decisions about which companies to do business with, this type of data is essential. You can gain access to this information by using company data APIs.
A company’s data API allows you to get access to an extensive range of information about particular firms. This data can be used to create corporate profiles on websites, create marketing strategies for specific target audiences, analyze your competition, and much more.
The most common type of data that these APIs provide is corporate contact information, including postal address information like street address, city, state/province, zip code, latitude/longitude, phone number, email address, website URL, and occasionally some other contact information like office location or consumer demographic data.
