Relationship Data for Legal Entity Identification  - Company Information

OpenCorporates' is the largest openly available dataset on legal entity existence sourced directly from government registries. The database aggregates information from official registries and reliable sources, covering over 220 million+ companies across 140+ jurisdictions. It includes records from small local businesses to large multinational corporations, making it a crucial tool for diverse use cases such as compliance, investigations, due diligence, market research, and academic studies.

OpenCorporates provides **relationship data** to map and analyze the interconnections between companies, individuals, and organizations. This data is integral for understanding corporate structures, supply chains, ownership hierarchies, and influence networks. Relationship data is often used in corporate due diligence, compliance checks, and investigative research.

**Relationship data**: The dataset includes the following key elements (see data dictionary for all included attributes):

- **Parent-subsidiary relationships**, highlighting control structures within corporate groups.
- **Ownership linkages**, indicating direct and indirect shareholding relationships.
- **Control statements**, detailing how entities or individuals exert influence or control over a company, such as ultimate beneficial ownership.

This data is invaluable for identifying risks such as hidden ownership, complex cross-border structures, and regulatory violations. Businesses, analysts, and governments use this information to monitor compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, track beneficial ownership, and assess corporate governance.

The relationship data is drawn from statutory filings and official public records. It is carefully curated to ensure accuracy and transparency, allowing users to trace the provenance of each data point. OpenCorporates also emphasizes clarity by linking relationships to their source documents for verification.
