Data duplicates are costing you millions: Entity resolution for data aggregators

Your risk team thinks you’re dealing with Acme Corp, finance books it in as ACME CO, and marketing targets Acme Corporation in New York. Three “different” customers that are, in fact, the same legal entity. Multiply that by thousands of records, and duplicate data quietly drains budgets, derails onboarding, and invites regulatory fines every single day. One missed connection can green-light a sanctioned counter-party or sink a multi-million-dollar deal. The race to nail down a golden record for every business has never been more urgent.

How bulk registry data uncovers corporate fraud

Corporate fraud has always hidden behind paperwork. Until recently that paperwork (articles of incorporation, officer lists, change-of-address forms) sat in 50 state silos, traditionally as PDFs and TIFF scans, which are essentially digital images of paper documents. OpenCorporates’ now sources, cleans, and normalises that data into machine-readable tables, refreshing most jurisdictions weekly or even daily.

Why is it so hard to find US Company data?

Finding official company registration data in the United States can be challenging due to the country's decentralized system. Unlike many countries with a single national companies registry, the US has no centralized federal registry for all companies. Instead, businesses are registered at the state level, with each state maintaining its own registry. This means there are over 50 distinct official registers, each operated by a state or territory government.
