businessdataguide

What this is

businessdataguide is an editorial publication on global business compliance data. We publish practitioner-grade guides to official company registries across 209 jurisdictions, covering pricing, access, English UI, account requirements, API availability, and FATF context. Our Suppliers Directory profiles 806 commercial data suppliers, KYC platforms, and AML screening vendors covering those jurisdictions.

Our content is written for compliance officers, KYC analysts, AML platform engineers, fund administrators, and in-house counsel. Not for retail. Not aspirational. Practitioner-to-practitioner. Editorial only. Information, not legal, regulatory, or compliance advice. We are a publisher, not a registry, not a data redistributor, not a vendor.

The thesis

Business data is fragmented. Every country has its own registry, its own format, its own pricing model. Aggregators charge five-figure subscriptions for data that is often stale or partial. Compliance teams need a clear, current map of where to find primary-source data, what it costs, and what its limits are. That is what we publish.
