Details

The chamber of trade and industry have a database of all the registered companies in Burkina Faso. On his website there is a page where information related to the companies can be search, but all the dataset cannot be downloaded. Beneath the search box it is also possible to browse the register page by page. Clicking "Voir les détails" will give more detailed information about that company, e.g. trading name, category, RCCM number. Full address details are not always included.

It it said (on the website) that those who need the whole dataset must send an email. We contacted the chamber of trade and industry related to the dataset and they let us know that the reusable format of the whole dataset must be purchased.
