Overview

Orbis is the resource for entity data.

It has information on close to 450 million companies and entities across the globe – 45 million of these have detailed financial information.

It’s the most powerful comparable data resource on private companies – and it covers listed companies too. It’s strengths include:

  • comparable information
  • extensive corporate ownership structures
  • a holistic view of companies

We go further than just providing information, we carefully capture a wide variety of data, then we treat, append and standardize it to make it richer, more powerful and easier to interrogate. In fact, we capture and treat data from more than 170 separate providers, and hundreds of our own sources, to create Orbis.

Use Orbis to find, analyze and compare companies for better decision making and increased efficiency.
