List of registered (limited liability) companies in the city. The submissions in this data category do not need to include detailed financial data such as balance sheet, etc.
| Question | Answer | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Available in bulk | No | I can only get the data from company to company once I've selected the city i want the information from, or if i’ve got the name of the company or a unique identifier number like CNPJ. |
| In an open format | none | Data is not downloadable. I can see a list of registered companies in São Paulo city, but i can only access the information on each company individually, and the data is only available online. |
| Available free of charge | Yes | Data is free of charge, but i can only access it one by one. There is a private platform called SERASA, that sells a company’s list but this is a paid service. So it exists, it’s just not publicly available. |
| Up-to-date | No | Actually, there is no way of knowing if the data is up-to-date. There is a “date of issue”, which is not necessarily an indicator of the date of the last update, because it is automatically set as today’s date. |
| Available free online | Yes | |
| Openly licenced | No | There is no clear license or terms of use for the data available from the website I provided. |
| findable | 2 | Not only it was not easy to find the platform but also, you need to have prior information on the company ID to get information. There is no official list beyond the one offered, so I have to look up on the internet for the company's name individually. |
| findable_steps | i googled registered companies in são paulo and got the JUCESP link. | |
| Collected by government | Yes | |
| usability | 1 | It is very hard to do anything with this information. I have to get the information one by one, no download is available. |

Jucesp is a state body that became part of the Secretariat of Economic Development, Science And Technology in January 2011. |
| characteristics | Name of company, Company address, Register available for entire city | After I select any company from the online list i get the information checked. otherwise, not. |
