Add an existing company to Alex Legal
There are two ways to register a company on Alex: create a company or add an existing company.
Adding a company is for those with a company already registered with an RCS number (or other identifier for foreign companies). Here's how Alex simplifies the process:
Enter the RCS number: For French companies, simply enter your RCS number and the platform does the rest.
Automatic data retrieval: Using open data (INPI and/or INSEE), Alex collects all the legal information.
Document classification: Our artificial intelligence (AI) retrieves and classifies legal documents from the company's incorporation onwards. We build a complete history, which is stored securely in a digital vault.
Share ownership management: The AI reconstructs the share transfer register, capitalisation table and shareholder accounts. You can then anchor the register on the blockchain.
Reconstruction of appointments and committees: Appointments of directors, auditors and committees are automatically retrieved and classified, including past appointments.
Within a few hours, all your company's data is structured and secured on Alex, ready to use for all your company secretarial work.
Add your companies, by RCS number or name
Your companies join Alex in a few moves, from a clearer page.
Open the add-company page.
Add a company by its RCS number or its name.
For several companies at once, add them by pasting a list or in bulk, country by country.
Import an Excel or CSV file
When your companies are already listed in a spreadsheet, start from that file. Excel and CSV imports can carry groups and countries too.
Your UK companies, from Companies House
Add a UK company from Companies House. Its officers, activities and official legal form are brought in automatically.
What Alex does with the companies you add
Alex checks the data and spots duplicates, then you sort the companies into your groups by drag and drop.
Foreign companies' profiles and forms adapt to their jurisdiction: they show the legal identifiers, share classes and currency of the company's country.
To add a registered company to a new platform or management tool, certain information must be current and compliant with legal requirements, including:
The RCS number must be valid and current.
The information retrieved (articles of association, directors, shareholders) must match the legal documents filed at the commercial court registry.
Any change to the data must be declared, including changes in share ownership or management.
Alex ensures your data complies with French legal requirements through reliable and complete automatic retrieval.
