Dissolved or struck-off entities, shown separately and never blended with active counts.

Government-sourced

Our records originate from official, openly-licensed government company data. We don’t scrape opaque third parties — the provenance is authoritative, and every export is watermarked and audit-logged.

One firm, one record

We resolve duplicates and name variants across languages and scripts into a single clean record per company, so a search returns distinct firms — not five spellings of the same one.

Clean industry labels

Industry discovery uses available registry classification codes and taxonomy buckets to search by what a company does. Classification systems and field availability differ by country; some records cannot yet be assigned to a category.

What quality tiers mean

Listing status and company age help you segment a market. They are not a certification of product quality, creditworthiness, financial health, or supplier reliability. Validate shortlisted suppliers independently before making a purchasing decision.

Coverage and freshness

Registry snapshots, update schedules, and available fields vary by market. A missing industry match does not prove that no businesses operate in that sector. Check country coverage and the fields available in your preview before unlocking a record.

Lead with active

We always show the active universe as the headline figure and present dissolved entities separately. Big numbers are decomposed by tier — never an inflated total.
