Use cases >> Entity verification
Streamline your onboarding processes
Good business starts with knowing who you’re dealing with.
From know-your-customer (KYC), supplier due-diligence, underwriting, loans, relief funds, to ESG or regulatory compliance — the success of your operations is built on dependable entity verification.
That's where we come in.
Build on strong foundations
Effective, efficient company verification starts with accurate, reliable legal-entity data.
Search the world’s largest open legal-entity database or plug the data direct into your applications and processes.
Fresh, standardized, fully auditable information, underpinned by our Legal-Entity Data Principles, this is data you can trust.
It shouldn't be hard to get legal-entity data you can trust
And yet it is. Legal-entity information is dispersed across hundreds of business registers that are hard to navigate and impossible to access at scale. Traditional company-data aggregators are no longer the answer either, given their opaque processes and provenance.
Verifiable accuracy is more important than ever, and you should expect more.
You need data built on deep expertise, rigorous data models and well-founded, forward-looking principles. Data sourced direct from primary sources, curated with clear decision-making and no hidden bias, and defined by open not proprietary identifiers and standards. Data you know you can trust.
