Colombian Company Registry With Economic Activity Codes

Colombia's business registry links company tax IDs to standardized economic activity classifications. It contains fields for company name, tax identification number (NIT), and multiple levels of CIIU codes. The data is published by Colombia's open data portal, datos.gov.co, and was last updated in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Classify a company's primary economic sector using its 'CIIU-1' code from its 'NIT'.
• Analyze industry concentration by counting companies sharing the same 'CIIU-4' detailed activity code.
• Validate business registration details by matching a known 'RAZON SOCIAL' (company name) to its official 'NIT'.
• Study corporate diversification by identifying companies with multiple 'CIIU-2' or 'CIIU-3' secondary activity codes.

Strengths

• Contains six structured columns for company identification and classification.
• Provides multiple granularity levels of economic activity codes (CIIU-1 through CIIU-4).

Limitations

• Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data completeness and format.
• The total number of rows and company coverage is unknown.
