Overview
Sayari sells risk-intelligence software built on what it calls a world model of corporate, trade and legal records. Its beneficial-ownership page describes integrating corporate registry filings, ownership disclosure filings, court records and trade data from more than 250 jurisdictions into one ownership graph covering more than 450 million corporate entities[13]; its API page cites 11.7 billion records, more than 500 million companies and more than 3 billion ownership links[15]. The company reported a US$228 million investment from TPG in January 2024[14].
For UBO work, Sayari traverses chains through holding companies, trusts and nominee structures to a natural person, with 10 or more degrees of ownership in a single query, and screens the resulting owners against PEP, sanctions and adverse-media sources[13]. Its Signal product monitors a portfolio for ownership changes and new PEP or sanctions exposure at the UBO level, and the API offers a monitoring subscription that sends webhook alerts when an entity’s ownership structure changes[13][15]. A batch endpoint accepts up to 10,000 entities per request for resolution, traversal and screening[15].
Sayari does not publish prices, and figures differ between its own pages (450 million versus 500 million entities). Its pages do not describe ownership-percentage calculation for each owner. It suits enterprises and government agencies that combine KYC with sanctions, export-control and forced-labour screening.
