What Global Database does

Global Database is a UK-based B2B company intelligence platform that provides first-party company data sourced directly from official government registries. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Northampton, the company aggregates company records from over 400 government registries across 200+ countries, covering more than 600 million company profiles globally. Its platform is positioned for sales, marketing, compliance, risk, and financial professionals who require verified, registry-grade data for prospecting, KYB/AML compliance, ultimate beneficial owner identification, due diligence, and financial analysis.

The product portfolio is anchored on the core Sales Prospecting Platform, with complementary modules including Sales Engagement automation, Business Credit Reporting, List Enrichment, a free browser extension, and a developer-facing API. In June 2026, the company launched Regis, an AI assistant powered by Agentic AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation architecture that enables conversational access to registry-verified data. The technology stack integrates structured registry data with natural language processing and autonomous agent capabilities, and the platform maintains native integrations with major CRM, marketing automation, and sales engagement systems including Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Outreach, Salesloft, Slack, and Microsoft Dynamics. Regis is offered free of charge, positioning it as a top-of-funnel acquisition lever.

Global Database operates a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth (free trial, freemium browser extension, free Regis AI) with enterprise field sales for larger accounts requiring custom quote-based pricing. Revenue is generated through recurring SaaS subscriptions, programmatic API access, and bespoke data research and bulk data services for enterprise clients. CEO Nicolae Buldumac leads the company, which is privately held, bootstrapped except for a single $1.46M funding round in September 2021, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Direct peers

• Owler: Owler provides community-driven company intelligence and sales prospecting data. It targets a similar SMB sales-prospecting use case as Global Database, though with a less rigorous data provenance model.
• Trulioo: Trulioo provides global business and consumer verification for KYB, KYC, and AML use cases. It competes with Global Database's compliance, UBO, and verification offerings and is named in Global Database's comparison content.
• OpenCorporates: OpenCorporates is the largest open database of companies, sourcing data from official registries across 140+ jurisdictions. It is the most direct comparable to Global Database on registry-sourced company data and is explicitly mentioned in Global Database's competitive content.
• Crunchbase: Crunchbase provides company intelligence focused on private and emerging companies for sales prospecting, deal sourcing, and market research. It is comparable to Global Database on the company-research and sales-intelligence use cases, especially for SMBs and growth markets.
• ZoomInfo: ZoomInfo is the leading B2B sales and marketing intelligence platform, offering company and contact data for prospecting and ABM. It is the most direct competitor to Global Database's Sales Prospecting Platform, though Global Database differentiates on registry-verified versus contact-rich data.

Broad incumbents

• LSEG (Refinitiv): Refinitiv (now part of LSEG) provides financial terminals and company data through platforms like World-Check and DataScope. Global Database explicitly positions against its limited coverage of private companies outside the US/UK.
• Moody's (Bureau van Dijk): Moody's Analytics (formerly Bureau van Dijk) provides the Orbis platform for global corporate data and financial reporting. It competes with Global Database's financial reporting and large-scale corporate data offerings, particularly for enterprise and research customers.
• S&P Capital IQ: S&P Capital IQ Pro provides detailed company, financial, and ownership data for institutional research and corporate customers. It is cited as a financial-terminal incumbent that Global Database complements for non-US/UK private-company coverage.
• Dun & Bradstreet: Dun & Bradstreet is the established leader in business credit reporting and global company data. Its Business Credit Reporting and D-U-N-S offerings overlap with Global Database's compliance and risk modules, and it operates at materially larger scale across more enterprise accounts.

Emerging players

• Verisk / Kyckr: Kyckr (now part of Verisk) provides global business registry and UBO data for AML and compliance. It is a niche but comparable peer in the registry-sourced, compliance-focused slice of Global Database's offering.
