Best Company Financial Data Providers in 2026

MonetaiQ is a financial data service operated by Global Data Intelligence Limited (company number 09410808), registered at Artisans' House, 7 Queensbridge, Northampton. The same legal entity operates Global Database. MonetaiQ states coverage of balance sheets, income statements, cash flow and profit-and-loss data for more than 400 million private companies and 60,000 listed companies, sourced from official registries and stock exchanges.

Data can be looked up by company name, ticker, registration number, VAT number, website or LinkedIn URL, and is delivered through an API or bulk feeds in JSON, CSV, XML or custom formats. Every plan returns the full history held for a company; the provider does not restrict years by tier, and each response carries the source and the filing date. Listed-company data is refreshed quarterly; private-company records update when the registry publishes new accounts. The homepage names Statista, Experian and Finquest as clients.

MonetaiQ scores highest on this list's model mainly because it publishes prices and states source attribution; as a privately held company it does not publish audited figures. Its pages are not fully consistent: the homepage cites coverage "from over 100 countries" and says private-company data also comes from "trusted third-party databases", while the pricing page says figures come straight from official filings. The plan cards show 50 to 2,000 API calls a day, but the comparison table lists daily rate limits of 300 to 4,000. The company does not publish a figure for how many of the 400 million companies have full financial statements, and buyers should test coverage on their own list.

Orbis is Moody's global company database and was formerly a flagship product of Bureau van Dijk (BvD). Moody's describes it as a resource on private companies that also covers listed companies, with information on more than 650 million entities assembled from more than 145 sources and treated so that the data is standardised and comparable.

The database combines firmographics, financial details, corporate hierarchies and ownership, foreign investment and M&A activity. Financial reports are kept in standardised formats that absorb regional differences in filing rules and accounting practice, so companies can be searched across borders on the same criteria, including actual financials, growth rates and estimates. For users who need country-specific formats, Moody's sells country-level databases such as FAME.

Orbis is used in credit assessment, transfer pricing, KYC and anti-money-laundering work and supplier risk; Moody's adds Bitsight cyber-risk ratings for more than 6 million entities. Data is available through the Orbis web interface, APIs, connectors, bulk feeds, cloud and real-time delivery. Moody's does not publish prices or state on the Orbis page how many entities carry financial statements, and the 650 million figure counts entities rather than companies with accounts.

Global Database is a company-data provider founded in 2015 that sources official company records from registries and government sources in more than 200 countries, covering more than 600 million companies. Its legal entity is Global Data Intelligence Limited, headquartered in Northampton, United Kingdom.

The Company Financials product supplies statements for private and listed companies. Private-company accounts are collected from more than 400 registries, including Companies House, the Handelsregister, INPI, KVK and Brønnøysundregistrene, and digitised with OCR and AI; each line item is validated against the document's own totals and mapped to one global taxonomy with derived ratios. Listed-company data comes from SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 20-F), the London Stock Exchange, Euronext, Deutsche Börse and other exchanges, normalised into the same schema. Up to 20 or more years of history is available where the registry holds it, and the original filed PDF is included for selected jurisdictions.

Delivery options are a REST API and MCP server, bulk feeds in CSV, JSON or Parquet, the web platform, and the Regis AI assistant. Licences permit redistribution and AI training. The company states that most US private companies do not file accounts and that it does not substitute estimates for filings, so US private coverage is limited. Prices are not published.

S&P Capital IQ Pro is the main desktop platform of S&P Global Market Intelligence, which delivers data, analytics and research through Capital IQ Pro and S&P Capital IQ with Microsoft Office integration, as well as through cloud, data-feed and API channels. A 2026 platform brochure lists more than 109,000 public companies, including more than 49,000 active with current financials, and more than 54 million private companies, of which more than 14 million have financials.

Beyond financial statements, the platform covers M&A (more than 1.2 million deals), public offerings, funding rounds (including Crunchbase records), buybacks, sector datasets for banks, insurers, energy and mining, and aftermarket research from more than 1,800 investment banks. Excel formulas link data into models and refresh with one click; the brochure also describes the ChatIQ AI assistant and document search. S&P runs a Quality Program that donates US$50 to charity for each verified error or omission.

Of the sources in this list, S&P publishes the clearest split between companies in the database and companies with financials. Its product pages blocked automated access during this review, so figures rest on the brochure and the investor fact book. Pricing is not published.

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) sells company data covering fundamentals, estimates, filings, ownership, officers and directors, ESG and private companies. It states coverage of more than 110,000 public and 27.3 million private firms.

Its fundamentals dataset covers more than 120,000 companies on more than 150 exchanges, representing 99% of global market capitalisation, with standardised and as-reported income statements, balance sheets and cash-flow statements, point-in-time data, I/B/E/S estimates, ratios and industry KPIs. History goes back to the early 1980s for US companies and the 1990s for the rest of the world. ESG data covers 16,000 companies with more than 870 measures from 2002.

Access is through Workspace, Datastream, DataScope and APIs. The company-data page names private companies among its coverage but does not state how many have financial statements, so this list does not credit LSEG with private-company financials. Prices are not published.

Companies House, the UK register of companies, publishes the Accounts Data Product: free ZIP files containing the individual data files of company accounts filed electronically. A new daily file is added each morning from Tuesday to Saturday, containing accounts registered on the previous working day; daily files stay online for 60 days, after which the data is available only in monthly historic files.

Files are in inline XBRL (iXBRL) or XBRL format, and each filename identifies the company number and balance-sheet date. Companies House states that electronically filed accounts make up about 75% of the 2.2 million accounts it expects each year, so the remaining paper or PDF filings are not in the product.

The product is the primary source that commercial providers digitise for UK companies. It is free and authoritative, but it is supplied "free of charge and is not supported": there is no standardisation across taxonomies, no ratios and no API, and users must parse iXBRL themselves. Small companies may file abridged accounts, which limits the line items available. The product covers UK-registered companies only.

Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) sells API access to financial statements, prices and company data for listed companies, ETFs, funds, currencies and crypto-assets. It offers income statements, balance sheets and other key metrics, earnings-call transcripts and more than 30 years of daily price history, and states that market data comes directly from exchanges including Nasdaq, LSEG, Cboe, TMX and IEX. The company reports SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Plans are tiered by call rate and history. The free Basic plan allows 250 calls a day with five years of history and restricts as-reported statements to a short list of symbols; Starter, Premium and Ultimate add full access to as-reported statements, higher call rates and up to 30 or more years of history. Bulk statement endpoints with global coverage are available only on Ultimate.

FMP covers listed companies only and does not publish a count of companies with fundamentals on the pages reviewed. Displaying or redistributing its data requires a separate licensing agreement, and the provider disclaims liability for errors.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission publishes free APIs on data.sec.gov that return each filer's submission history and the XBRL data extracted from financial statements in forms 10-Q, 10-K, 8-K, 20-F, 40-F and 6-K. XBRL reporting was first required by the SEC in 2009, and facts must be tagged to a standard US-GAAP or IFRS taxonomy, although companies can add custom extensions.

Three XBRL endpoints are available: company-concept (one company, one line item), company-facts (all facts for one company) and frames (one line item across all companies for a calendar period). The JSON is updated in real time as filings are disseminated, and bulk ZIP archives are recompiled nightly at about 3:00 a.m. Eastern time.

EDGAR is the original source for US listed-company financials and costs nothing. It is not standardised beyond the taxonomies: custom tags, differing fiscal calendars and restatements must be handled by the user, and the frames API aligns periods only approximately to calendar quarters. It covers SEC registrants only.

FactSet is a US financial data and analytics company whose FactSet Fundamentals database supplies standardised financial-statement data on listed companies. A FactSet product sheet, dated August 2019, states coverage of more than 86,000 global companies, including inactive companies, from more than 115 countries. Annual data begins in 1980, semi-annual data in 1994 and quarterly data in 1995, and the data feed contains more than 750 data items.

The data items include detailed financial-statement content, per-share data and calculated ratios. FactSet distributes the fundamentals through its own workstation and as a data feed for loading into client databases.

The most recent coverage figures found on FactSet's own site date from 2019, and its current fundamentals product page could not be read during this review, so the entry may understate present coverage. The material reviewed does not describe private-company financial statements or published pricing.

Creditsafe was founded in Oslo, Norway in 1997 to deliver company credit reports online to small and medium-sized businesses, and operates 26 offices across 16 countries; its UK company, Creditsafe Business Solutions Ltd, is based in Cardiff. It states credit data coverage in more than 200 countries and business and contact data for 66 million companies across 13 countries, and says more than 100,000 companies use it.

Its company credit reports combine full financials with a credit score, a recommended credit limit, payment history, County Court Judgments, directors, ownership and group structures. Creditsafe adds supplier payment trends (days beyond terms) and monthly commercial banking data on loans, overdrafts and cash balances for selected markets.

Creditsafe's financial data is packaged inside credit reports rather than sold as a standardised statements dataset, and the pages reviewed do not describe an API, bulk feed, ratio set or source attribution. Report packages are sold by quote, and a free report on one company is offered. Buyers mainly interested in credit decisions may also compare business credit report providers.

EODHD sells APIs for historical prices and fundamental financial data on listed securities, with free and paid plans. Its Fundamentals Data Feed plan costs US$59.99 a month or US$599.90 a year, and an All-in-One package is also offered.

Usage is metered in API calls with a daily allowance that resets at midnight GMT; a fundamentals request costs 10 calls and a bulk request 100 or more, so the effective number of company records retrieved is lower than the call allowance suggests. History depth varies by API, and the pricing page directs users to each API's documentation for exact coverage.

EODHD covers listed companies only. The pricing page does not publish a count of companies with fundamentals, describe source attribution or list ratios, and the provider's corporate details were not verified during this review.

PitchBook is a reportable segment of Morningstar, Inc. Its data, research and tools are delivered mainly through the PitchBook platform, which Morningstar describes as an integrated solution for professionals who allocate, deploy or advise on capital, and through direct data products delivered by API and data feed. According to Morningstar's 2025 annual report, PitchBook tracks millions of private and public companies, investors, funds, deals, loans and executives.

PitchBook revenue was US$671.8 million in 2025, up 8.6% from US$618.4 million in 2024; licensed users were broadly flat over the year. Morningstar added AI features including the VC Exit Predictor and Valuation Estimates, a machine-learning model that produces valuation estimates for thousands of companies, and integrations with AI platforms such as Hebbia and Rogo. Pricing is based primarily on the number of licensed users.

PitchBook's strength is deal, fund and investor data for venture capital and private equity rather than statutory accounts. Its website blocked automated access during this review, and the annual report does not describe financial-statement coverage, so it scores low on this list's model; buyers should ask PitchBook directly how many private companies carry financial statements.
