Overview
VATFind is a company identity lookup service whose main function is the reverse of a classic checker: it finds a company’s VAT number from its legal name and country, checks whether a VAT or EIN number links to a company record, and finds US EINs by company name[20]. VATFind is affiliated with Listopedia’s publisher; its position here follows the scoring in the methodology. VIES cannot return a number from a name[1], so this fills a real gap.
Access is by web, API and an MCP interface for AI agents, with monitoring of company changes and VAT status included in paid plans[20][21]. VATFind names customers including London Stock Exchange Group, Trustpair, Experian and Kroll[20]. Its search lists 249 selectable jurisdictions, but the coverage page states that selectable does not mean every company or identifier is available[22].
The service draws on a licensed company-data source, with details cached for up to 15 minutes[20], and its own documentation states that results are not a live authority response and that the issuing authority should be checked when a decision depends on a number[22]. It does not issue consultation numbers, and the Starter plan works out at $0.20 per check, more than most EU-focused APIs.
