How it works
- Step 1
Upload
Send the document to the API as a file or a URL no special formatting required.
- Step 2
The engine reads the document
The engine analyzes the page layout and identifies the content that matters. The extraction engine reads the full layout of a Chamber of Commerce extract, identifying structured fields such as company name, registration number, legal form, trade owners, and authorised representatives from both printed and scanned documents.
- Step 3
Structured JSON is returned
Every extracted element comes back as structured JSON, positioned and typed, ready to feed into downstream systems.
- Step 4
Confidence-based review
Each field carries a confidence score, so low-confidence results can be routed for human review instead of trusted blindly.

Use cases
Supplier and Vendor Onboarding
When onboarding a new supplier, compliance teams need to verify the legal standing of the entity. Send the supplier's Chamber of Commerce extract to ByteIt's API and receive the company name, registration number, legal form, and trade owners as structured data. This data can then be pushed into a procurement system or vendor management database, replacing manual form filling and reducing onboarding time from days to minutes.
KYC and AML Compliance Checks
Financial institutions subject to know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering regulations must verify corporate identities before opening accounts or issuing loans. ByteIt extracts the company's legal representatives, registration date, and entity type from a CoC extract. Connect the structured output into your compliance workflow via tools like n8n, Zapier, or Make to automate identity verification and flag discrepancies against sanction lists or PEP databases.
Lending and Credit Risk Assessment
Banks and alternative lenders rely on Chamber of Commerce extracts to validate a business's legal status and ownership structure before extending credit. Extract the company's trade owners, entity type, and registration date automatically, then pass this data into a credit scoring model or loan origination system. Automating this step eliminates the bottleneck of manual document review during peak application periods.
Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence
During M&A due diligence, deal teams review hundreds of CoC extracts to confirm the legal standing and ownership structure of target entities. ByteIt's engine processes extracts in bulk, pulling registered name, incorporation date, legal representatives, and trade owners from each document. The structured output can feed directly into a virtual data room or due diligence checklist, allowing analysts to focus on exceptions rather than data entry.
Government and Public Procurement
Public sector procurement teams must verify that bidding companies are legally registered and in good standing before awarding contracts. By extracting the CoC number, company name, and registration date from submitted extracts, ByteIt enables automated validation against public business registers. This reduces the administrative burden on procurement officers and speeds up tender evaluation cycles.

Frequently asked questions
What file formats are supported for Chamber of Commerce extracts?
ByteIt accepts PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and other common image formats. If you have scanned paper extracts, a photo or scan at 200 DPI or higher produces the best results. The engine processes both digital-born PDFs and photographed printouts.
Which countries' Chamber of Commerce extracts are supported?
ByteIt's extraction engine works with extracts from chambers of commerce across Europe and the US, including but not limited to the Netherlands (KvK), Germany (IHK), France (RCS), Belgium (KBO/BCE), the UK (Companies House), and US Secretary of State business registers. The model reads the document layout rather than relying on country-specific templates, so new jurisdictions can be added without reconfiguration.
How accurate is the extraction for scanned or low-quality CoC extracts?
The vision-language model used by ByteIt handles a wide range of scan quality, including documents with stamps, seals, and variable print conditions. For best results, scans of at least 200 DPI are recommended. The engine achieves high precision on standard printed extracts; documents with heavy watermarking or poor lighting may see reduced accuracy.
How do I integrate ByteIt's CoC extraction into my existing systems?
ByteIt provides a simple REST API with a Python SDK for developers. You can send the document file and receive structured JSON in return. For no-code integration, connect the API to your CRM, ERP, or compliance platform using workflow automation tools like n8n, Zapier, or Make. The Studio also allows you to test extraction visually before writing any code.
Can ByteIt handle multi-page Chamber of Commerce extracts?
Yes. The engine processes multi-page documents, extracting fields across all pages and returning a single structured output. This is useful for longer CoC extracts that include appendices, ownership listings, or historical registration changes spread across several pages.
How is data privacy handled for sensitive company documents?
ByteIt encrypts all documents in transit and at rest. The platform is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified. Enterprise customers can opt for zero data retention and VPC or on-premise deployment. Documents are not used for model training unless explicitly agreed.
What is the pricing for Chamber of Commerce extract processing?
ByteIt offers a free Build plan with 1,000 credits per month, giving you full access to test extraction on your documents. The Scale plan costs 260 EUR per month for 25,000 credits and includes parallel processing and team API keys. Enterprise plans with custom volumes, zero data retention, and dedicated support are available on request.
