What is the NZ Companies Register?
The NZ Companies Register is New Zealand's public company register, operated by the Companies Office. Fonteum's registered source family uses approved bulk company-level data, including NZBN, company identifier, entity name, registration date, removal date, entity type, and entity status while excluding person-level files.
Full name: New Zealand Companies Register
Short explanation
The NZ Companies Register sits beside the NZBN Register and provides company-level register data for New Zealand entities. Fonteum's `nz-companies-register` source family is defined as an operator-script ingest from approved bulk files and stores company-level fields only. Director, shareholder, and other person-level CSVs are excluded from the public table, preserving the entity-level scope required by Fonteum's global-register doctrine.
