The foundation
Every record is verified against an official source.
Every company record in our dataset is verified against a primary authoritative source: government registries, tax authorities, chambers of commerce, and regulatory filings. Our verification layer is built on authoritative sources. A record doesn't ship until it's been confirmed against an official source.
This matters because when a regulator, auditor, or customer asks where your data comes from, you need a defensible answer. Every record we deliver can be traced back to an authoritative source.
Source types we verify against
The pipeline
From raw source to verified record.
Three stages. Each one adds confidence. The output is a single company identity with full provenance, not a best guess.
Collect
Raw records from registries
Reconcile
Cross-referenced & resolved
Normalise
Verified & production-ready
Freshness
Freshness you can measure.
We don't say “our data is fresh” and leave it at that. Every record carries a last-verified timestamp and source attribution. Your team can see exactly when a data point was last checked and where it came from.
Continuous re-verification
Records are re-checked against their sources on a rolling basis. Refresh cadence varies by source availability and market, and we’re transparent about what that means for each country.
Delta feeds
Receive only what changed since your last sync. Status changes, field updates, new registrations, deactivations — delivered as structured deltas, not full reloads. Your pipeline stays current without reprocessing the entire dataset.
Audit trail
Every record includes source provenance and verification timestamps. Compliance and data teams can trace any data point back to its origin — for internal audits, regulatory reviews, or partner due diligence.
Provenance
Three questions every record can answer.
This is the standard we hold ourselves to. Every record in the dataset should be able to answer these three questions. If it can't, it doesn't ship.

Industry classifications are stored as issued by each source. To map a NACE Rev. 2 code to its US SIC 1987 equivalent, or the reverse, use the NACE to SIC code converter.
To see the data these methods produce, you can search company recordsby name, industry, revenue, size and location.
