Reading legal entities for ecommerce brands

Here is how legal entities for ecommerce brands actually gets done, what it costs each way, and where each way stops working. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so Legal Entity Resolver is something you run yourself against your own list of ecommerce brands.

Where this starts

Ecommerce brands and legal entities: the answer is public, scattered, and nobody has time to collect it. Ecommerce brands live and die on platform choice, and the platform is visible in the page source, and legal entities has to work around it. Know this about ecommerce brands before any legal entities: a headless build hides the platform completely, and headless correlates with the biggest merchants. Legal Entity Resolver carries 1 ready made setup for legal entities on ecommerce brands.

Why anyone bothers

Finance needs the registered company behind ecommerce brands, and the brand on the website is a different string in a different country.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Wappalyzer, for ecommerce brands. Free as an extension, cheap as an API, and it will still miss the headless ones.
  • The company's own footer. In the UK and most of the EU the registered name and number are required on the website. It is the fastest lookup there is and people forget it exists.
  • Dun and Bradstreet or a KYC vendor. Built for regulated onboarding, with the coverage and the price that implies. If you have a compliance obligation you probably already have one.
  • Search the register. Companies House, the SEC, the local commercial register. All free, all authoritative, and all requiring you to already know roughly what you are searching for.
