Find and use identifiers

Users can search for identifiers using the Cipro name. Identifiers will be under the Column header 'Enterprise number'.

Users should note that this is a very basic search function, and current research finds that only Search Option 1 works, thus users must have the exact name of the corporate entity to find an identifier number. The resulting data is very basic.

Users can also search the OpenCorporates database.

You can suggest an edit to our information about this list by posting an issue or submitting a pull request.
