Company data sources and how often we refresh them
- Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (CBE, FPS Economy): name, address, status, legal situation and form, activities, establishments and the contact details the company gave. Every morning, as soon as the CBE publishes the update of the previous working day.
- Central Balance Sheet Office of the National Bank (NBB): the annual accounts and what they say about the board, shareholders and holdings. Every morning the filings of the day before, and when a company page is opened.
- Peppol network: whether the company can receive e-invoices, and which documents. Live, when you open the page.
- VIES (European Commission): whether the VAT number is valid. Live, when you open the page.
- The company's own website: logo, short description, email, phone and social media. Fetched when someone opens the page, then kept for a month.
- Statbel: the official monthly figures on bankruptcies and start-ups, for the months before our own count.
Stopped: which date?
Publications such as a closure appear in the Belgian Official Gazette.
The CBE open data does not include the official closing date. We therefore show the date of the CBE update in which the closure appeared. The official date is in the CBE itself.
What we do not use
We do not scrape websites that do not allow it. What is missing in the CBE or the accounts is not filled in with estimates.
Nummo is not an official source
When in doubt, the source itself prevails. Links to the official sources are on every company page, in the About the company card. Spotted an error? Click "Submit a request" in that card.
