Each status used in France, in English, with the standard status the Prometiam API returns and what it means for doing business with the company.
Every register words its company states differently. This guide lists the status values used in France, what each means in English, and the standard status the Prometiam API returns for it, so the same question (is this company still alive, in trouble or gone?) has the same answer across countries. The register’s own value stays available as local_status.

active): The register shows no dissolution, insolvency or removal. That is the normal state, but not a guarantee of solvency or good standing: check filings and payment behaviour as your policy requires.in_restructuring): A court-supervised rescue is open while the company keeps trading. Existing creditors are usually bound or held back by the plan, so agree payment terms in advance and check which creditors the plan covers.insolvent): A formal insolvency proceeding is open. Do not extend new credit, find out who the appointed administrator or trustee is, and file any claim with them.in_liquidation_insolvent): Bankruptcy or judicial liquidation: the company is being wound up to pay its creditors. File your claim with the liquidator or trustee, do not ship on credit, and expect contracts to be ended or handled by the liquidator.in_dissolution): Dissolution has been resolved but the legal entity survives for its liquidation. This is not the same as a British or American dissolved company, which no longer exists. Treat it as in liquidation: no new business.deregistered): Removed from the register: the legal person no longer exists (in the US: dissolved, revoked, withdrawn or no longer listed in that state). It cannot sign, be sued or be paid, so invoice a successor or the former owners and check whether it merged. Some registers can restore or reinstate an entity, so check before you treat it as final.merged): Merged into another company, which takes over its rights and obligations. Find the successor and deal with it.withheld): The register does not disclose the state. Treat it as unknown, not as active.In France “dissoute” is a pending state and “radiée” is the end. The stored value liquidating is the judicial liquidation (a bankruptcy), unlike in Spain, where it is a voluntary liquidation. An entity that asked not to be published shows withheld and the name [ND].

status is the same list in every country; local_status is the register’s own value. Use one or the other, not both. Outside Spain a status filter must be combined with a name or an identifier.
