FAQ
What if my company doesn't appear in the search?
Try searching with different criteria or contact the CBE directly for assistance.
Is the CBE number the same as my VAT number?
Your VAT number uses your CBE number but starts with 'BE'. For example, if your CBE is 0123456789, your VAT number is BE0123456789.
What if the information is incorrect?
Contact the CBE to update your official company information before proceeding with registration.
