Level of difficulty
Requirements
User registration is required for accessing certain features (see cost section).
Limitations
Interactive graph starts with first-degree relations (company ↔︎ persons/companies). You can click nodes to reveal second-degree links, but bulk export/API still returns first-degree only.
Our own tests showed that some financial data or indicators are limited under a free account, are inconsistently updated or unavailable.
The data is only limited to 24 countries, the full list of sources with update frequency can be found here.
Network graph initially shows first-degree relations; you can click nodes to reveal deeper levels, but CSV / API export is still limited to one hop.
Ethical Considerations
Individuals with common names or aliases can be misidentified without using additional information about the target, leading to false allegations.
Data contains sensitive information such as addresses or contact information.
It can reveal personal relationships that aren’t widely known. (For example, birthdays, passport information, addresses, etc., depending on the company-related documents retained by governmental bodies.)
