Unlike the traditional ‘black-box’ data providers, OpenCorporates provides open (non-proprietary) identifiers based on the identifiers issued by the official source.
Full provenance
We’re clear about where we got our data, and when we got it, unlike the ‘black-box’ data of the traditional proprietary providers.
Direct from source
We only collect data from the official source itself, we do not use third party data providers to access this data, and we provide direct line of sight to the original source.
Tech driven
Combined with the above principles, our custom-built data collection, QA and reconciliation technology gives us a significant competitive advantage over legacy business information companies.

OpenCorporates’ is the world’s leading source of transparent company data. For 50 years, the data industry has been dominated by opaque data that's not well-defined, has no provenance, uses proprietary identifiers and has poor data-quality feedback loops. Now, in a data-centric world, this is no longer fit for purpose, and what is needed is transparent data – clearly defined, with full provenance, open identifiers, and available publicly for the best high-quality feedback loops.
