# Bulgaria

Company data from the Bulgaria business register, through the Topograph API.

## Overview

Topograph reads Bulgarian Trade Register, Bulgarian Open Data Portal (Trade Register XML feeds) and Bulgarian BULSTAT Register and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons, shareholders, ultimate beneficial owners and establishments of Bulgaria companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |
| Legal representatives | Yes |
| Other key persons | Yes |
| Shareholders | Partly |
| Ultimate beneficial owners | Partly |
| Establishments | Yes |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | Yes |
| Financials | Yes |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Извлечение от Търговския регистър
- Учредителен акт
- Годишен финансов отчет

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 5 s in prefill mode and 10 s in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
