## FAQ

### What is the Belgian enterprise number?

Ten digits issued by the KBO when the entity is registered. Since 2023 it is the same number the enterprise uses for VAT, so one identifier reaches both the register and the tax side.

### Can I search a Belgian company by name?

Names are matched with accents and punctuation folded, and the closest candidates return in rank order. An exact enterprise number resolves to its one entity.

### Does the be search cover sole traders?

The KBO registers enterprises of every legal form, so the search reaches companies, partnerships and natural-person enterprises that are registered.
