Access historic quarterly financial statements dating to 2017—including income statements, balance sheets, payroll trends, growth rates, and detailed metrics such as revenue, gross margin, net income, cash, debt, payroll, and financial ratios.

Filter by location type, industry, franchise indicator, and more, enabling precise verification of physical presence and in-depth risk assessment. These robust data assets power geolocation-based compliance workflows and advanced fraud detection.
Jurisdiction-Verified Legal Entities
Each legal entity is mapped with full transparency into corporate hierarchies, UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) relationships, and parent-subsidiary structures. Legal entity records deliver key indicators for tax lien tracking, incorporation status, and compliance monitoring, with integrated screening for sanctions, ownership, and regulatory standing—all sourced from jurisdiction-verified data. With dual-perspective access, compare and cross-reference both legal and operating business records for a complete KYB risk profile.
Verified Decision-Makers & UBOs
All contact records—at both the business and legal entity level—are verified individuals, including directors, officers, UBOs, and executives, each linked to validated LinkedIn profiles and sourced from verified legal filings. Every person record includes essential identifiers: name, title, role, phone, email, and address (residential and commercial). This approach ensures reliable screening, AML investigations, and audit trails, with source-of-truth accuracy ideal for KYB workflows.
