Data Sources for France
All company information for France on B2BHint is sourced from official government registers. Below are the specific data sources and the legal basis for their publication.
Official Data Sources
The SIRENE register, maintained by INSEE (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), is the official directory of French enterprises and establishments. It assigns SIREN and SIRET identification numbers and contains data on company names, legal forms, addresses, activity codes (NAF/APE), creation dates, and workforce size categories. Since January 2017, the entire SIRENE database has been available as open data.
Legal Basis
French company data is public under multiple legal frameworks. The SIRENE register has been open data since 2017 under Decree No. 2017-538. The Law for a Digital Republic (2016) mandates the publication of public sector data. Commercial register data (RCS) is also accessible through the Infogreffe portal under the French Commercial Code.
