Domiciliation centres: turnkey AML compliance
Companies and domiciliation centres are explicitly covered by the law of 18 September 2017. Here is how to automate your AML programme with the official BCE/KBO data.
An explicitly obligated profession
Domiciliation centres are explicitly listed in article 5 of the law of 18 September 2017 as obligated entities. Before accepting a new company, you must verify its existence, legal form, directors and the nature of its activity — and repeat that check throughout the domiciliation contract.
With Company Belgium your team queries the BCE/KBO in real time at every domiciliation request, keeps a timestamped audit trail and gets alerts on major changes (struck off, dissolved, moved). You gain productivity and stay compliant with FPS Economy and CTIF inspections.
- Instant validation of the BCE/KBO number and status (active, struck off, dissolved).
- Retrieve the official name, legal form and registered office.
- List of NACE codes to assess sector risk (gambling, crypto, import-export…).
- Timestamped audit log to satisfy FPS Economy, ITAA or CTIF inspections.
