When you need to understand the companies in your ecosystem, you’ll benefit from a certain approach. We capture and treat private company information for better decision making and increased efficiency.
With information on more than 400 million companies in all countries worldwide we are the resource for private company data.
Certainty is a highly-prized commodity in business. We do all we can to add certainty to your decision making by delivering information derived from rigorous processes, a huge variety of sources, and treating it to make it as easy as possible to compare companies internationally.
Data really is in our DNA. At Bureau van Dijk, a Moody's Analytics company, providing our customers with the best quality data, is our most important objective. We have unique experience in the information world. Data defines who we are and what we do. Our dedication to quality means we won’t tolerate unreliable data. We are committed to certain standards, providing the best breadth and depth of information in the market.
Too many businesses settle for substandard data. Bureau van Dijk is challenging that status quo and disrupting the market with data that sits in a different league. Through constant innovation and exploration, we are re-defining what private company information is and what it can mean for businesses.
We offer free trials so you can be certain of the quality you are getting, before you commit to a purchase. We always deliver a consultative approach. So, we’ll work with you to help you get the best out of the information on our products, as well as the information you already hold on your clients, suppliers or prospects. We can create great solutions by helping you blend our data with yours.
We enhance company information with specific proprietary data sets that are unique to us:
Our teams of researchers and journalists monitor deal activity worldwide. We collect information on deals and rumors and create links to the financial information we hold on our products.
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.
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.
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.
Provided by 7 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.
Our software helps you create sophisticated searches and analysis while being easy to use. All our software is proprietary and created by our team of developers working to specifications designed by our analysts. All our analysts are experts in their fields and have a thorough knowledge of data content and user-requirements. The result is products that are robust and that demonstrate a thorough and practical understanding of information.
