Example prompt: Can you look up the Belgian company Delhaize Group in the KBO/BCE registry and get me their enterprise number, VAT number, registered address, and current status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official Belgian company data sourced directly from KBO/BCE, especially when you have an enterprise number for precise lookup or a company name for fuzzy search. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, authoritative data fields like VAT number and legal status for Belgian entities specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in KBO/BCE registry — returns empty or null result
- Invalid enterprise number format — returns error if not in expected format (e.g. 0404.616.494)
- Ambiguous company name with multiple matches — may return first match only
- KBO/BCE source temporarily unavailable — upstream data fetch failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 payment required if USDC not provided
