Find the people that matter
If your business depends on getting to the people who own real estate in the US, you'll know it's not easy.
With Limited liability companies (LLCs) dominating commercial real-estate holdings, finding decision-makers can require laborious, manual searching through state registries.
There is a better way.
Take the strain out of business development
To find the people, addresses and other company data that matters in your real-estate discovery you now need only go to one place.
Search the world’s largest open legal-entity database or, better, plug the data direct into your applications and processes.
Fresh, standardised, fully auditable information, underpinned by our Legal-Entity Data Principles, this is data you can trust.
It shouldn't be hard to get legal-entity data you can trust
And yet it is. Legal-entity information is dispersed across hundreds of business registers that are hard to navigate and impossible to access at scale. Traditional company-data aggregators are no longer the answer either, given their opaque processes and provenance.
Verifiable accuracy is more important than ever, and you should expect more.
You need data built on deep expertise, rigorous data models and well-founded, forward-looking principles. Data sourced direct from primary sources, curated with clear decision-making and no hidden bias, and defined by open not proprietary identifiers and standards. Data you know you can trust.
