RUT data, managers, representatives and shareholders for Chilean businesses

Overview

AiPrise verifies Chilean businesses by their RUT against the tax service (SII) and the Registry of Companies and Partnerships (Registro de Empresas y Sociedades). A business verification returns the company profile, activity codes, managers, the representatives registered with the SII and, when the company has a formation record, its shareholders.

Documents come back with the verification. These are typical times from production, not a service-level commitment: set timeouts well above them, or use callbacks.

Every entity with a RUT is covered. Shareholders and managers come back only for companies with a formation record.
