What iBD does

iBD Ltd. is a private Israeli financial consultancy and business intelligence firm headquartered in Hod Hasharon, Israel, with an additional contact office in Germany. Founded in 1998 and operating for over 25-30 years, the company provides credit reports, legal documentation services, and business research focused on the Israeli market and serving EU clients. Its core data asset is a proprietary database of 450,000+ Israeli companies, partnerships, and ACS entries updated daily, with registration documents available in English, German, and Hebrew. iBD explicitly positions itself as the only conflict-free credit reporting firm in Israel, stating it does not review its own customers and does not sell reports or advertising to reviewed firms.

The company's product portfolio comprises three core service lines: Credit Reports (including a CreditPro Report and a standard Credit Report), Legal Services covering company registration documents, translations, and notary-sealed documents, and Business Research for locating customers, suppliers, competitors, and local agents or distributors. A Custom Reports offering enables user-defined analysis, and a self-service Document Portal at ibdco.com/portal provides registered customers with online access to reports and documents. The firm markets to small and medium-sized businesses navigating transitions as well as to banks, credit insurance companies, law firms, and manufacturing/trade companies; named enterprise clients include Allianz Group, MAPFRE, CESCE, ONDD, Allen & Overy, DuPont, Mitsui, Volvo, and CREDIREFORM.

iBD operates a sales-led professional services model with direct client engagement via phone and email, supplemented by the Document Portal for distribution. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. No API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are referenced in available sources, and the technology platform is not described in detail. The company's stated differentiators are independence, objectivity, 30+ years of domain expertise, and confidentiality, positioning it as a trusted, conflict-free source for Israeli corporate credit and legal documentation.

Broad incumbents

• Dun & Bradstreet: Global leader in business credit data and decisioning, with the largest cross-country commercial database. Directly comparable as a business credit reporting and corporate information provider, though far broader in geography and product scope than iBD.
• Moody's (Bureau van Dijk): Provides global business intelligence through the Bureau van Dijk platform (Orbis), covering company financials, ownership, and credit data across nearly every market. Comparable to iBD's business intelligence and company information offerings at vastly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Creditsafe: Business credit reporting and company information provider operating across multiple markets with online reports and APIs. Closely comparable to iBD in product (credit reports, company documents) and target customers (credit insurers, banks, corporates).
• Coface: Global credit insurance provider that also sells business information and credit reports. iBD actually supplies data to Coface's credit insurance peers, making Coface a like-for-like competitor combining credit insurance underwriting with proprietary company data.
• Euler Hermes (Allianz Trade): World's largest trade credit insurer with a substantial business information and credit reporting arm. Direct overlap with iBD in serving credit insurance underwriting with company data; iBD lists Allianz Group (Euler Hermes's parent) as a customer.
• CRIF: Italian-headquartered company information and credit bureau group operating in Europe, with business credit reports and decisioning platforms. Directly comparable to iBD in product mix (credit reports, company documents, business research) and European footprint.
• Creditreform: Germany-based network of credit bureaus providing business credit reports and credit information across DACH and Europe. Listed as a customer of iBD (CREDIREFORM) but also a peer in business credit reporting with multilingual European coverage.
• Graydon: UK and pan-European business intelligence and credit reporting provider. Comparable to iBD in offering company credit reports, compliance data, and business research for corporate and financial services clients.
• CIAL Dun & Bradstreet Israel: Israeli licensee of Dun & Bradstreet, providing local business credit reports and company information in Israel. The most direct head-to-head competitor to iBD in the Israeli market for the same customer segments.

Regional players

• Bisnode: Nordic and European business information provider (now part of Dun & Bradstreet), offering company credit reports and market data. Comparable to iBD in business information product, though focused on Northern Europe rather than Israel.
