What is company register bulk data?

Company register bulk data is an official file or feed that publishes many legal-entity records at once instead of one lookup at a time. Fonteum uses bulk public-register data for UK Companies House and Australia ASIC, with a partial Corporations Canada subset; additional registers are registered but not loaded.

Short explanation

Company register bulk data is the practical substrate for a source-provenanced entity graph. Fonteum favors official bulk files, APIs, or approved feeds because they preserve source fields, update cadence, license, and limitations at scale. The platform does not treat a bulk company register as a quality badge: it is a dated public record about registration, identifiers, status, addresses, and related company-level facts.

How it’s used

  • Bulk ingestion: Fonteum uses loaded source-specific adapters such as `uk-companies-house` and `australia-asic`, plus a partial `canada-corporations` subset; `france-rne-inpi` and `nz-companies-register` are registered for future loads.
  • Source discipline: each register family carries license, methodology version, schema version, cadence, projected fields, and source limitations.
  • Entity graph joins: bulk register facts can be matched to LEI, UEI, and jurisdiction identifiers only when the source keys support the match.

Frequently asked questions

Why use company register bulk data?
Bulk data lets a system ingest public register facts consistently, preserve source fields, and refresh records without one-off manual lookup.
Is bulk company-register data a quality rating?
No. It is a public register record about identifiers, status, dates, addresses, and related company-level facts, not a rating or endorsement.
Which global-register bulk sources does Fonteum use?
Fonteum has loaded bulk data for UK Companies House and Australia ASIC, plus a partial Corporations Canada subset. France RNE / INPI and the NZ Companies Register are registered source families that are not yet loaded.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
