Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about searching, filtering, and ordering business records.
A global business directory is a searchable index of registered businesses worldwide, organised by country, region, and industry. Ours is built from official business registries and trade registers, so every listing carries a verified legal name, registration ID, address, and industry classification.
The directory currently indexes more than 375 million businesses across 217 countries. Numbers update continuously as new entities register and inactive ones are removed.
Every major market and most smaller ones, from the United States, China, and India to Norway, the Netherlands, and across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Use the regional lists to open any national directory.
Yes. Searching business names and previewing basic registration data is free. Full records with email, phone, financials, and 50+ fields per legal entity require a platform subscription, a custom Excel export, or API access.
We deliver business directories through four channels: a REST API for automated pipelines, tailored Excel lists for targeted outreach, high-volume bulk packages for global buyers, and the Bold Platform for self-serve list-building. Tell us your target audience and we match the right channel.
Records are sourced from official business registries, tax authorities, and trade registers, then cross-checked against multiple sources and enriched with global business intelligence partners for accuracy on legal name, registration ID, address, and industry classification.
We deliver monthly updates against the official registry feeds, with continuous enrichment from web sources between updates.
