What Infobel does

Infobel, operating under the brand InfobelPRO, is a Belgian B2B data infrastructure company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Uccle. It aggregates registry-verified company information by ingesting directly from 1,100+ official government registries, tax authorities, chambers of commerce, and regulatory filings across 200+ markets, then reconciles entities through a multi-source engine with reliability codes and full source provenance. The resulting dataset covers 380M+ company records, 50M+ tax IDs, 44M+ corporate linkage records, and 202M+ points of interest, with 500+ attributes per company.

The product surface is structured as a platform plus modules and APIs. The four modules — Build, Verify, Search, and Enrich — address product embedding, KYB verification, list building, and CRM enrichment respectively. Six specialized APIs (Company Data, VAT Validation, KYB/Verification, Corporate Linkage, Caller ID, Location/POI) deliver the same data, supported by a unified global schema and stable entity IDs across jurisdictions. Distribution runs through REST API (≈20ms latency, bearer token auth), scheduled bulk flat files (CSV/JSON/XML/Parquet), and a browser-based self-serve search engine.

The business is sales-led with quote-based subscription pricing and multi-year enterprise contracts. An enterprise field sales motion pairs buyers with data specialists who provide free samples before commitment; horizontal customer segments include sales and revenue teams, compliance and legal (KYB/AML), data and analytics teams, market intelligence, and technology/SaaS platforms that embed the data. The company is private with 11-50 employees; leadership includes co-founder Marc Wahba (CEO Structure Data and CTO Infobel), co-founder and CFO Liliane Sidis, COO Claude De Bruycker, and CTO Didier Baclin.

Emerging players

• Clearbit: API-first B2B data enrichment and company intelligence provider focused on SaaS and developer-friendly integration patterns. Comparable on API distribution model and developer positioning, though more US-centric and less registry-driven than InfobelPRO.
• Trulioo: Global identity verification platform offering business (KYB) and consumer verification across 195+ countries using registry and government data sources. Overlapping with InfobelPRO's Verify and KYB offerings in the compliance and onboarding use case.
• Fonoa: Tax-tech company providing automated VAT, tax compliance, and invoicing APIs to digital businesses. Direct overlap with InfobelPRO's VAT Validation API and tax-ID use cases; a disclosed InfobelPRO customer competing in adjacent tax-compliance workflows.
• Leadfeeder: Visitor identification and B2B lead generation platform that identifies companies visiting a website and routes them into CRM pipelines. Comparable in the B2B data enrichment segment and a disclosed InfobelPRO customer.

Direct peers

• Cognism: B2B sales intelligence provider focused on EMEA and global account/contact data, including a strong emphasis on data quality and GDPR-compliant sourcing. Direct competitor in the sales intelligence segment; notably also a disclosed InfobelPRO customer, indicating overlap in supply and demand.

• ZoomInfo: Leading B2B sales and marketing intelligence platform providing company and contact data for sales, RevOps, and marketing teams. Direct competitor across InfobelPRO's Sales & Revenue Teams and Data & Analytics segments, though it draws much of its data from web-scraped/aggregated sources rather than registries.
• Bureau van Dijk (Moody's): Moody's-owned provider of detailed global company information, corporate linkage, and beneficial-ownership data sold primarily to financial institutions, regulators, and large corporates. Highly comparable in registry-sourced, multi-jurisdictional coverage and a frequent competitor in enterprise compliance RFPs.
