Statuses and legal forms
Every result carries the register's own status in registration_info.status and an AiPrise status in registration_info.normalised_status. The normalised status is one of Active, Suspended, Dormant, Dissolved / Struck Off, In Liquidation / Insolvency or Unknown.
| Register status | Normalised status |
|---|---|
| active | Active |
| liquidation | In Liquidation / Insolvency |
| terminated | Dissolved / Struck Off |
Legal forms come back as abbreviations in entity_type, for example Sàrl, Sàrl-S, SA and SCSp.
