Yes — searching business names and previewing basic registration data is free. Full records (with email, phone, financials, and 50+ fields per legal entity) require either a platform subscription, a custom Excel export, or API access.
Records are sourced from official Canada business registries, tax authorities and trade registers, then enriched with global business intelligence partners. Every Canadian business registry record is cross-checked against multiple sources to ensure accuracy on legal name, registration ID, address, and industry classification.
We deliver monthly updates of the Canada dataset against the official registry feeds, with continuous enrichment from web sources between updates.
