Search the Belgium Company Register by Name

Every Belgian business receives a unique 10-digit enterprise number (formatted as 0XXX.XXX.XXX) from the KBO/BCE. This single number replaces the old VAT, commercial register, and social security numbers.

Yes. Belgium is trilingual, so the KBO/BCE provides data in Dutch, French, and German. Company names may be registered in any of the three languages depending on the region.

The KBO Public Search (kbopub.economie.fgov.be) provides free access to basic enterprise data including name, address, activities, and status. For detailed financial filings, check the National Bank of Belgium's Balanscentrale.

BV (Besloten vennootschap) is the Belgian private limited company, similar to a Dutch BV or UK Ltd. Since the 2019 Companies and Associations Code reform, BVs can be formed with no minimum capital (previously €18,550), making them the most flexible Belgian entity type.

Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the KBO Public Search and show the registered name, KBO number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.

Yes. Searching by company name or KBO number is free here and on the official Belgium register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.

Yes. Enter the KBO number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.

Search the name or KBO number above. If the business is on the KBO Public Search, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.

Each record carries the status the KBO Public Search publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.

Search the company name above. Each result shows its KBO number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the KBO Public Search.

Both identify a business on the KBO Public Search, but they are issued for different purposes and are not interchangeable. A company can appear under either — searching by name returns both where they exist.
