What is the French RNE?

The French RNE, or Registre National des Entreprises, is France's national business register maintained through INPI. It publishes company and establishment facts such as SIREN, legal form, creation date, activity, main establishment, address fields, and publication data, subject to French diffusion and reuse rules.

Full name: Registre National des Entreprises

Short explanation

The French RNE is the national register behind Fonteum's registered `france-rne-inpi` source family, which is not yet loaded. The planned adapter would read company-register data from INPI's RNE API/SFTP surface, key legal-entity facts on SIREN, and exclude natural-person and INSEE non-diffusible records. RNE data is useful for legal-entity identity and establishment context, but it is not the same as a sanctions record, procurement eligibility record, or credit opinion.

How it’s used

  • French legal-entity matching: SIREN keys the legal unit, while SIRET identifies establishments that can appear under that legal unit.
  • INPI RNE ingestion: Fonteum's `france-rne-inpi` family is registered for future ingest and would store legal form, creation date, main activity, establishment status, and address facts where reusable; no RNE data is loaded today.
  • Privacy boundary: Fonteum excludes natural-person and non-diffusible records from the public company-register layer.

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.
