Altares

Overview

Altares is Dun & Bradstreet’s exclusive partner in France, the Benelux and the Maghreb, and so distributes the D&B worldwide network in those markets^[22]. It states access to a global database of more than 600 million legal entities, including more than 11 million in France, and coverage in 240 countries, and says that data and information have been central to its activity for nearly two centuries^[22].

Its credit-risk products include intuiz+, which evaluates the risk of business failure and non-payment; D&B Finance Analytics for managing international credit risk; PPI and DunTrade for analysing customers’ payment behaviour; and solvency reports for assessing the financial health of partners^[22]. The payment-behaviour product gives French files a trade-payment dimension in addition to registry filings.

Altares publishes no prices on its home page, and most material is in French. For buyers outside its partner territories, the equivalent D&B products are sold by D&B directly or by other partners, so Altares is most relevant to firms with a large French or Benelux customer book.
