Our product range includes databases of company information and business intelligence for individual countries, regions and the world. Our global database, Orbis, combines information from more than 140 sources and covers over 200 million companies. We are always looking to enhance our coverage and sourcing new information that can enrich existing coverage or help us increase our universe of companies. We have extensive coverage of private companies, detailed company hierarchies, standardised financial reports so you can compare companies across borders plus financial strength metrics to assess financial viability of companies. Increasingly our customers blend our detailed data with their own to get insight on their customers and suppliers to assess risk and from a business development perspective. We source content ourselves and from regulatory and other sources. And we add value to this information by: standardising financials and ratios linking data sources creating unique identifiers linking directors and contacts adding bespoke research appending and linking corporate structures integrating our information on M&A deals and rumours applying data verification, cleansing and quality control The result is a range of comprehensive databases. Our global information is standardised for international company searching and comparisons. Our products are available across a range of interfaces and solutions, that can be blended with your own data and integrated into your workflow.

We collect information on deals and rumours and create links to the financial information we hold on our products. Corporate ownership information and company hierarchies Our corporate ownership information is becoming increasingly important to our customers’ research processes. When we were initially developing our international products, it became clear that there was no viable source of pan-European, or international, company ownership information. We decided to merge and link the information from our IPs, and complement this with our own research. This has now become an important part of our offering and a significant operation. Our bespoke research includes many sources such as local stock exchanges, newswires, companies’ reports and accounts and direct contact with the companies themselves. We show very detailed, direct and indirect, ownership information, a company’s level of independence in relation to its shareholders plus the global and domestic ultimate owners. Our company hierarchies are widely used across a number of business functions and particularly valuable for anti-money laundering to research beneficial ownership. Company overviews We have proprietary research on companies’ activities, history, the countries they operate in and their main products and services, for approaching one million companies around the world. Directors and contacts We research and supplement information on the contacts we get from our IPs - directors, executives, shareholders and advisors - to create a global database of individuals associated with companies. Financial strength risk metrics Provided by 6 independent companies, all experts in their fields, we have models that have been designed to work with our data to help you assess companies' financial strength and probability of default.
