What makes this a global business directory, and not a listing site
Search for a global business directory and you mostly find two kinds of site. Listing platforms, where a business shows up only after it signs up, so coverage stops at whoever chose to join. And guides that hand you a list of two hundred separate national registers to work through one by one. This is neither. It is those registers themselves, merged: 375 million businesses drawn from 217 official company registries, in one place, so you never have to visit them separately.
Because every entry comes from a government registration and not a self-submission, you are searching the whole market, not the part of it that opted in. Each business carries the legal name, registration number, registered address, and industry code it actually filed under, with revenue, employee counts, and contacts layered on for the larger ones. Searching is free. Start from the world map to see where businesses concentrate, open any country for its regional and industry breakdown, or export the exact slice you need as Excel, CSV, or an API feed.

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 CompanyData 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.
