Overview
Global Database is a company-intelligence provider that sells registry-sourced company, financial, KYB and ownership data. It states coverage of more than 600 million companies from more than 400 official registries in over 200 countries and territories, with registries synced on their publication schedules, daily in most major markets[6].
Its UBO Discovery and Ownership Graph product traces ownership layer by layer from registry filings to the natural person at the top of the chain, at whatever threshold the customer’s policy sets; the page notes that AML regimes commonly use 25 percent and that many institutions use 10 percent or lower[5]. Direct and indirect stakes are calculated separately, and each relationship carries the registry it came from, the filing date and a link to the source document[5]. Gaps and undisclosed holders are flagged rather than filled. Directors, shareholders and UBOs are screened against OFAC, EU, UN and UK HMT consolidated lists and PEP registers in one pass, and screening re-runs when lists or filings change[5]. A separate Corporate Linkage product maps group structures and parent-subsidiary trees[6].
Access is through a web platform, a REST API, bulk full-file and delta feeds, CRM integrations, an MCP integration and a natural-language agent called Regis[5][6]. The UBO page itself lists no price; the KYB verification page states that reports start at £20 per verification[7]. Field depth depends on what each register publishes, and the provider does not offer identity-document checks on the individuals it names.
