Organisation Basic info lookup
Retrieves basic information about an organisation from national and commercial registries (we refer to these as data sources). This step allows you to verify an organisation's identity, confirming its existence, and enriching customer data.
How it works
The Organisation Basic info lookup step allows you to check, enrich and verify information about a registered company against national and commercial data sources.
The Organisation Basic info lookup step provides business information about an organisation:
- Trade name
- Address
- Organisation type
- Legal status
- Industry sector
The Organisation Basic info lookup step runs in the background, therefore your end-users will not see it in the user journey.
After the user journey is completed, you can view the data retrieved from the data sources in the Journeys of Signicat Mint.
Other Signicat products involved
The Organisation Basic info lookup step integrates the Basic endpoint of the Signicat Data Verification API into your flows.
In the Mint Builder UI, you configure the fields of the request. These map to the properties of the endpoint. When you run the workflow, the Mint engine sends requests to the API in the background, without the need for you to write any code or use any additional tool.
Signicat Mint integrates with most endpoints of the Signicat Data Verification API - each endpoint corresponds to a step. To learn more about the endpoints, see the Data Verification API overview documentation.

Additional configuration
When configuring the basic info lookup step, you can choose from the available data sources. To manage your data sources in the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > Data Verification.
Signicat Mint by default offers all implemented data sources in the step configuration. To use the available data sources, you must first purchase them either through the Signicat Marketplace (self-service) or by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard. After that, they can be added to your Signicat account.
Note: Some data sources may require further configuration. If you require assistance or need more information, you can contact us by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.
