Business Registration Service (BRS)

Validate Business Registration Number

This particular endpoint serves the critical function of verifying a business's registration number by cross-referencing it with the Kenyan Business Registration Service (BRS). This validation is crucial to ensure that the registration information is accurate and legitimate. It plays a key role in maintaining the reliability and trustworthiness of our platform by preventing the inclusion of incorrect or fraudulent business data. Our seamless integration with the BRS helps us verify and validate businesses more effectively, enhancing trust and compliance within our system.

To fully utilize this endpoint, it is implemented in two distinct phases:

  1. Search: During this phase, merchants initiate a search by providing the company name as input. In response, our system generates a list of various companies, each accompanied by a unique company ID.
  2. Search Advance: In this phase, merchants can take advantage of the company ID acquired during the initial search. By passing this company ID as a reference point, merchants can access comprehensive and detailed information about a specific business. This advanced search feature enables merchants to retrieve in-depth insights into the selected company, facilitating informed decisions and actions.
