The Foundation: What Makes BrightQuery’s Data Different
Organizations (Companies & Financials) 1, 2
- Extensive coverage of companies with detailed firmographics including verified EINs, business registrations, operational status, and financial health signals.
- Historic quarterly financial statements dating to 2017 including income statements, balance sheets, payroll trends, growth rates, and revenue, gross margin, net income, cash, debt, payroll, and financial ratios.
✘ Competitors rely on incomplete or estimated financials and often lack jurisdiction-level verification, leading to onboarding delays and risk blind spots.
Locations (Operational Footprint & Filtering) 3, 4
- Extensive coverage of business locations including HQs, registered offices, branches, and residential business addresses.
- Filter by location type, industry, franchise indicator, and more—critical for verifying physical presence and assessing risk exposure.
- Supports geolocation-based compliance workflows and fraud detection.
✘ Competitors typically provide only HQ addresses, missing regional footprints and branch-level insight needed for AML and onboarding checks.
Legal Entities (KYB & Risk Compliance) 5, 6
- Legal entities mapped with full visibility into corporate hierarchies, UBO relationships, and parent-subsidiary structures.
- Legal Entity level information with full UBO transparency. Indicators for tax lien tracking, incorporation status, compliance monitoring and screening for sanctions, ownership, and regulatory standing using jurisdiction-verified data.
- Dual-perspective access: compare business records from both a legal entity and operating business lens.
✘ Competitors often lack transparency into ownership structures, legal status, and regulatory filings—making compliance workflows slower and riskier.
People (Decision-Makers & UBOs) 7, 8
- All contacts (business and legal entity level) are verified individuals (directors, officers, UBOs, execs), each matched to LinkedIn profiles and sourced from legal filings for KYB precision and outreach.
- Each person record includes name, title, role, phone, email, address (residential and commercial)
- Sourced from legal and regulatory filings, not scraped bios—ideal for KYB screening, AML investigations, and audit trails.
✘ Competitors offer unverified contact data or incomplete role mapping, making it difficult to fulfill KYB and AML requirements accurately.
