## Coverage

FR

## Use when

- Review a French supplier before onboarding or payment.
- You need a compact pre-onboarding or pre-payment review of a French supplier using public company/compliance data plus optional VAT and IBAN checks.
- You want one normalized supplier verdict while retaining the individual check results.

## Avoid when

- You need a broader multi-section company dossier; use company/fr/intelligence.
- You only need to compare invoice identifiers and VAT information; use company/fr/invoice-check.

## Limitations

- IBAN validation is structural and does not prove bank-account ownership by the supplier.
- The result is public-data decision support, not a guarantee that a supplier or payment is fraud-free.

## Example queries

- Review a French supplier before onboarding or payment.
