How it complements our contacts directory

This file is the official tax registry: which companies exist and are active, with RUC, legal name, type, activity, size, tax location and whether they import or export. It has no phones or emails. Our Peru business database with phone numbers (Yellow Pages directory) is the opposite: business phones, WhatsApp, emails and websites, but no RUC or tax data. Use them together: segment here (for example, active verified importers with 11 to 50 workers in Arequipa), validate the RUC, then match by name and district against the directory to get the contact.

Use cases

  • B2B prospecting and segmentation: lists of active companies by ISIC activity, size, department or district.
  • KYB and supplier or customer validation: check RUC, legal name, active status and address condition before invoicing, hiring or paying.
  • Foreign-trade intelligence: every registered importer and exporter, by sector and region.
  • Market and sector studies: business density by district, weight of each activity and company size.
  • CRM and ERP enrichment from the RUC.

How it was prepared

  • Joined by RUC: SUNAT's reduced RUC registry (legal name, status, condition and tax address, generated on September 30, 2026) and the monthly RUC registry SUNAT publishes on Peru's National Open Data Platform (period 2026-09: type, ISIC, workers, systems, foreign trade and ubigeo). 79 active companies in the reduced registry are missing from the monthly file: they are included with their basic data and address.
  • RUC 20 only (legal entities), no natural persons. In addition, 11 RUC 20 records that SUNAT types as natural persons and whose name is a person's name were removed. Every RUC passes the check-digit validation and there are no duplicates.
  • Normalized text (spacing and broken characters fixed), habido as true/false and workers as an integer. The 156 non-domiciled entities show the address "SIN DOMICILIO FISCAL EN PERÚ".
  • Sorted with verified-address companies first, then by number of workers, largest first.
  • Company and entity data only: no legal representatives, shareholders or ID documents.
