orgbook_search

Looks up registered B.C. organizations (BC Registries via OrgBook BC) by part of a name, live, up to 10 at a time. Returns the registration number, names, type and dates only. It is not a listing or export and never returns people. Sole proprietorship and partnership names are often a person's own name. Report them as business names only; do not combine them with other sources to build a profile of an individual. While access is pending it answers unavailable.

Cost: 3 units of your allowance (see Rate limits).
