How you get your export

  1. Test the file structure

    Download the free CSV sample file with 30 fictitious businesses and check the columns in Excel.

  2. Agree the export

    Name the industry, province or municipality, the fields you need and what you will use the data for. The quote confirms available records, data status and price.

  3. Import the file

    You receive the agreed export as CSV, or XLSX or JSON on request, for your CRM, your mailing or your analysis.

Not every business has every contact field. Coverage and data status · sources and methodology. Without consent, marketing email may only go to impersonal addresses of legal entities, with an offer intended for legal entities; phone numbers must be screened against the Do Not Call Me list before calling.

Markets

Focused on Belgium, other EU countries on request

Our focus is Belgium with 21 industries across the 10 provinces and the Brussels-Capital Region. We compile company data from other EU countries, such as the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg or Germany, on request.

Sources: our own database, Statbel, Eurostat; figures and methodology on the database status page and in the methodology.

Data sources

Where the data comes from

The Belgian company database relies on open data and on what businesses publish themselves: the places from Overture Maps, supplemented with contact details from the businesses’ own websites.

Sources and methodology
Overture Maps (processed)

Open map data with name, address, phone and website of businesses (licence CDLA Permissive 2.0); the basis of all 779,149 records (as of 5 November 2026).

Company websites (being collected)

Email addresses and phone numbers from the contact page, legal information and footer of the businesses’ own websites; 265,237 of 338,056 domains processed by 5 November 2026.

What we do not use

No KBO/BCE open data (registration required) and no business directories.

Official statistics

Figures from Statbel and Eurostat are only used to put the market size into context; they contain no details of individual businesses.

Counted status of our database on 5 November 2026: places from Overture Maps (release 2026-10-21.0) plus contact details from the businesses’ websites (crawl still running). Contact figures refer to all records and overlap. Email addresses shared by three or more records do not count as their own address. Marketing email without consent only to impersonal addresses of legal entities with an offer intended for legal entities, calls only after screening against the Do Not Call Me list. For comparison: 931,405 businesses in industry, construction and market services according to Eurostat (SBS 2024). Details on the database status page, prices per industry in the price list.

Practical guidance

From the file to a traceable dataset

Map columns before importing

Compare the documented export fields with your target table. A general CSV file is not a guaranteed direct integration with any particular software.

Keep text fields as text

Postcodes, phone numbers and enterprise numbers are identifiers, not numbers to calculate with. Check data types in the import preview so that leading zeros are kept: an enterprise number such as 0xxx.xxx.xxx loses its first digit as a number.

Keep missing values visible

An empty field is not zero and not proof that the information does not exist. It means it is missing from the data provided. Your own verified information should not be overwritten by it.

Filter email addresses by type

Use the column with the address type: general addresses (info@, sales@) of legal entities for a B2B mailing, personal and freemail addresses only where you have consent. The type does not show whether the holder is a legal entity; check the legal form for that.

FAQ

Questions about the database, format and marketing law

The export of a whole industry costs €239 to €469 excluding VAT, depending on the industry, as a one-off price without a subscription. Selections by province, municipality or additional filters are quoted individually. The price list shows the industry prices.

On 5 November 2026 it held 779,149 records, 742,372 of them not marked as permanently closed and 696,077 with phone, email or website. Figures by province are on the database status page. The quote confirms the actual size of your selection.

Choose an industry or name the province, municipality and required fields in the request form. Before you order, we confirm scope, data status, price and delivery date in writing. A request is not yet an order.

Only within narrow limits. Article XII.13 of the Code of Economic Law requires prior consent; the Royal Decree of 4 April 2003 allows an exception for impersonal addresses of legal entities, such as info@ or sales@, and only for products intended for legal entities. Named addresses and sole traders need consent, and every message needs an unsubscribe option. The export therefore marks each address as general, personal or freemail. Details: B2B email and the Royal Decree of 2003.

Calls by a person are allowed without consent, unless the business has objected, but the caller must first screen the numbers against the Do Not Call Me list (Bel-Me-Niet-Meer / Ne m’appelez plus); according to the list operator this also applies to calls to businesses. Automated calls, fax and text messages require consent. The licence for the list is taken out by you as the caller. Details: telemarketing and the Do Not Call Me list.

Yes. The export and sample file page offers a CSV with 30 entirely fictitious Belgian businesses. It is suitable for checking delimiters, accents and field mapping. It says nothing about the size or contact quality of a real delivery.

In future, the enterprise number (ten digits; the VAT number is BE plus the same number). Numbers found on websites are not yet linked; the column is empty for now. Until then, the website domain is the most reliable key; establishment unit numbers identify a site, not the business.

Yes. The standard is a UTF-8 CSV file with semicolons as delimiters that opens in Excel; on request we deliver XLSX or JSON. The export and sample file page shows the columns.

All records in the Belgian company database come from Overture Maps (open map data with name, address, phone and website of places), supplemented with the contact details that businesses publish on their own websites. We do not use the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE): its open data require registration. Details for each source: sources and methodology.

Data about legal entities are not personal data under the GDPR. Data about sole traders, self-employed professionals and named contact persons, by contrast, are personal data. We process them on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); the information under Art. 14 GDPR is on the data subject rights page, and you can object at any time via the objection page.
