In the modern European marketplace, trust and compliance are everything.
That’s why PayRequest introduces EU Business Validation a powerful way to verify both a company’s official registration and VAT number in one simple step.
Whether you’re sending invoices, onboarding customers, or managing subscriptions, PayRequest ensures every business you work with is legitimate, compliant, and verified.
What Is EU Business Validation?
EU Business Validation combines two official data sources into one seamless check:
- 🇪🇺 VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) — validates VAT numbers across all EU member states.
- 🇳🇱 National business registries such as the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK).
By connecting these data points, PayRequest instantly confirms:
- if the company really exists;
- whether the VAT number is active;
- and if the registered name and address match official data.
Why Dual Validation Matters
Many businesses verify VAT numbers but skip registration checks — or vice versa.
That creates risk: incorrect VAT handling, non-compliant invoices, or even fraudulent partners.
With PayRequest’s EU Business Validation, both are handled together:
✅ Legal registration + ✅ Fiscal legitimacy — automatically, before you issue an invoice or approve a customer.
How PayRequest EU Business Validation works
- Enter a company or VAT number when creating a customer or processing a payment.
- PayRequest automatically validates the business via national registry + VIES.
- Receive instant results:
✅ Validated business: ready for invoicing
⚠️ Mismatch detected: review detail
❌ Invalid / inactive company
This process runs seamlessly inside the PayRequest dashboard: no separate tools, no manual look-ups.
