France
Looking for brand information about French companies?
France is home to millions of registered businesses, from global enterprises like luxury groups and banks to startups, SMEs, associations, and independent professionals.
Yet, identifying and representing French companies accurately in software products remains surprisingly hard.
Logos are outdated.
Company names vary.
Transaction descriptors are cryptic.
And most international brand APIs stop at domains, which doesn't reflect how French businesses actually operate.
Yoku solves this by treating French business identity as first-class infrastructure.
Why France Is a Special Case for Brand APIs
France has one of the most structured, and regulated, company identification systems in the world.
Every registered business is identified by:
- SIREN – a unique 9-digit company identifier
- SIRET – a 14-digit establishment identifier (SIREN + location)
- NAF code – France’s industry classification (aligned with EU standards)
- Official legal names that often differ from brand names
- Multiple establishments under a single brand
Most brand APIs ignore this reality.
Yoku does not.
What Makes Yoku Different for French Companies
🇫🇷 Native Support for French Business Identifiers
Yoku can identify and enrich companies using inputs that are specific to France:
- SIREN
- SIRET
- Legal company names (raison sociale)
- Brand or commercial names
- Domains
- Transaction descriptors used by French banks and PSPs
This allows you to:
- Enrich CRMs with verified French companies
- Map transactions to recognizable brands
- Display accurate company identities in fintech products
- Reduce ambiguity between legal entities and brands
Most international APIs rely on domains only.
Yoku understands how French companies are actually registered and referenced.
Brand Identity Data Available for French Companies
When querying a French company, Yoku can return structured, product-ready data such as:
- Official brand logo (multiple formats & sizes)
- Color palettes (ready for UI theming)
- Typography & font hints
- Company descriptions (localized when available)
- Industry classification (NAF / NAICS mapping)
- Headquarters location & country
- Social profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
- Brand assets usable in onboarding, invoices, and dashboards
- Transaction-to-brand mapping for French payment descriptors
All responses are designed to be embedded directly into SaaS products and AI pipelines, not just displayed as raw data.
Built for French SaaS, Fintech & AI Products
Common Use Cases in France
Yoku is particularly well-suited for:
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms
- Automatically brand customer workspaces

- Support white-label use cases
- Fintech & expense management tools
- Identify merchants from CB / SEPA transaction strings

- Reduce manual data cleaning
Why Not Just Use a Global Brand API?
Most global brand APIs are optimized for:
- US-based companies
- Domain-first identification
- Marketing-focused enrichment
- Enterprise-scale pipelines
This leads to issues in France:
- Missing or incorrect brands for SMEs
- No understanding of SIREN/SIRET
- Confusion between legal entities and brands
- Poor coverage for local businesses
- Expensive plans not suited for early-stage products
Yoku is designed to work with European realities from day one.
Developer-First, EU-Friendly Infrastructure
- Hosted and operated in the EU
- GDPR-aware by design
- Transparent pricing in EUR
- Generous free tier for testing
- Predictable limits, no surprise bills
Yoku is built for bootstrapped founders, startups, and growing SaaS teams who need serious infrastructure without enterprise friction.
