Fylings

Fylings is a company-intelligence platform for African markets built for fintechs, banks, compliance teams, SMEs, investors, journalists, and researchers who need to search, verify, and monitor registered businesses across multiple countries.

Key capabilities include:

• Cross-country company search across 20+ African markets, with lookups by company name and identifiers such as RC number and NINEA.
• Verification with provenance on every record, showing the source registry, last-checked date, and a confidence score to help users assess reliability.
• Monitoring and alerts for changes to a company’s status, directors, or filings, including events such as dissolution.
• API access for KYB workflows, enabling programmatic search, verification, and enrichment, supported by an OpenAPI spec.

Available on Web and via API.

It targets KYB and supplier due diligence, onboarding and compliance screening, and market research for organisations working with African companies, plus diaspora individuals and investors who need to validate counterparties remotely.

What makes it notable in Africa is its focus on official-registry sourcing and transparency, combined with additional data layers such as government procurement, people and ownership coverage, and maritime intelligence (daily vessel boards for ports in Nigeria, Mauritius, and Ghana, matched to company profiles). It also offers free basic search across its coverage, with paid access for enhanced records, monitoring, documents, and API use.
