search_entities
Search the full verified business registry of Spain and 33 other countries. Use when a user asks 'find me a dentist in Madrid', 'list law firms in Barcelona', 'what veterinary clinics are in Sevilla', or any query that needs a list of real, verified businesses by sector and location.
Covers 5.5M entities. Spain has the deepest coverage: 1.4M entities across 26 professional sectors including dental, legal, medical, veterinary, psychology, real estate, automotive repair, aesthetics, accounting, gyms, and more.
Every result includes: verified legal name, full address, phone, website, professional sector, and canonical Entia Home URL. This is official registry data — not scraped from Google Maps or estimated.
borme_lookup
Access the complete corporate history of any Spanish company from the BORME (Boletin Oficial del Registro Mercantil). Use when a user asks 'who are the directors of this company?', 'when was this company founded?', 'has this company had any capital changes?', 'what is this company's corporate purpose?', or needs official mercantile records for due diligence.
40.3 million official mercantile acts from 3.4 million unique Spanish companies, covering 2009-2026.
Returns: company name, CIF, province, act types (constitucion, nombramientos, ceses, ampliaciones de capital, reducciones, disoluciones, fusiones, escisiones), objeto social, CNAE code, and BORME publication dates.
Source: Registro Mercantil de Espana — official government gazette data extracted from BORME PDFs. Legally authoritative.
verify_vat
Validate any European VAT number in real-time against the official EU VIES system. Use when a user asks 'is this VAT number valid?', 'verify this company's tax ID', 'check if this EU company is registered', or needs VAT validation for invoicing, compliance, or KYC.
Real-time query to the European Commission's VIES database — the same system used by tax authorities across all 27 EU member states.
Returns: valid/invalid status, official registered company name, and registered address as recorded by the national tax authority. This is the definitive answer — not an estimate or cache.
Note on disclosure: Spain (AEAT), Germany, and a few other EU member states do NOT disclose
company name/address via VIES for privacy reasons. In those cases `status=valid` confirms
the VAT is registered, but `name` and `address` return `disclosure_restricted` with a
pointer to the authoritative registry (BORME for Spain).
zone_profile
Get the complete socioeconomic profile for any Spanish postal code — income, unemployment, population, and business density. Use when a user asks 'what's the economic level of this area?', 'is this a good zone to open a business?', 'what's the average income in 28001?', 'how many businesses are in this postal code?', or needs economic context for real estate, investment, or market analysis.
Covers all 11,241 Spanish postal codes with data from 4 official sources:
- AEAT (Agencia Tributaria): gross/average annual income, net monthly salary, tax declarations, social security contributions
- SEPE (Servicio Publico de Empleo): registered unemployment, unemployment-to-declarations ratio
- INE (Padron Municipal 2025): population by municipality and sex
- INE (DIRCE): business count by CNAE sector
ENTIA computes: Economic Capacity Index ICE (1-10) and Economic Segment (BAJO / MEDIO / ALTO / PREMIUM).
This is the most granular open economic data available for Spain at postal code level.
get_competitors
Find all verified businesses competing in the same sector and city. Use when a user asks 'who are my competitors?', 'how many dentists are in Valencia?', 'list all law firms in Bilbao', 'what's the market density for gyms in Madrid?', or needs competitive intelligence for any sector and location.

Returns for each competitor: legal name, full address, phone, website, rating, and canonical Entia Home URL for the full verified profile.
Useful for: competitive analysis, market entry assessment, franchise territory planning, zone saturation mapping, and local SEO benchmarking.
