What is a UEN in Singapore?

The UEN (Unique Entity Number) is the standard identifier ACRA assigns to every entity registered in Singapore — businesses, companies, societies and more. It's the reliable key for looking up a Singapore entity.

Is Singapore ACRA company data free?

Registration basics are open: data.gov.sg publishes the ACRA 'Information on Corporate Entities' dataset (entity name, UEN, status, type) for free. Detailed official extracts and filings are paid through ACRA's BizFile portal.

How do I get a Singapore company's revenue and employees?

Revenue, employee count and industry aren't in the ACRA registry — they're firmographics. You can pull them for Singapore companies with a firmographics scraper (by company name or domain) and export as JSON/CSV.

What's the difference between ACRA data and firmographics?

ACRA/BizFile is the official registry: UEN, entity status, incorporation, registered address. Firmographics are commercial attributes — revenue, employees, industry, competitors — sourced from public business profiles. Use both together for a full picture.

How to get Singapore company data: UEN, ACRA & firmographics

Singapore company data comes in two layers: the official ACRA registry (UEN, entity status, incorporation) and firmographics (revenue, employees, industry). Here's where to get each as clean, exportable data — for KYC, B2B sales and due diligence.

UEN & ACRA — the official registry

Every Singapore entity has a UEN (Unique Entity Number) issued by ACRA (the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority). Registration basics — entity name, UEN, status, entity type — are published openly on data.gov.sg (the "Information on Corporate Entities" dataset); detailed official extracts and filed documents are paid via ACRA's BizFile portal.

Firmographics — the commercial layer

The registry won't tell you a company's revenue, headcount, industry or competitors — those are firmographics, sourced from public business profiles. This is usually what sales, marketing and research teams actually need.

Revenue & employees — size signals for ICP targeting and segmentation.
Industry & HQ — sector classification and location.
Competitors & news — competitive context for any Singapore company.

The easy way (firmographics by name or domain)

To enrich Singapore companies with firmographics, drop a list of names or domains into the Company Data Enrichment scraper — it returns industry, HQ, size and revenue range as clean JSON. For deeper profiles (competitors, funding, news) use the Owler Company scraper. Both cover Singapore companies.

Use cases: B2B prospecting in Singapore & SEA, CRM enrichment, supplier KYC (paired with ACRA's UEN registry), and market research.

Is it legal?

ACRA registration data on data.gov.sg is published under the Singapore Open Data Licence; firmographics are read from public business profiles. Verify your use complies with each source's terms and Singapore's PDPA.
