Altares Dun & Bradstreet Belgium

What Altares Dun & Bradstreet Belgium does

Altares Dun & Bradstreet Belgium NV is the Belgian operating entity of the Altares-D&B Group, which holds the exclusive master partnership of Dun & Bradstreet's Worldwide Network across France, the Benelux region, and the Maghreb. The entity is headquartered in Dilbeek (Brussels) with a reported headcount of 17, and operates within a wider group that includes Dun & Bradstreet B.V. in the Netherlands and Inforisk Altares Africa in Morocco. Its commercial mandate is to deliver D&B's global business database — covering 600+ million companies across 240+ countries, sourced from 30,000 data feeds with 2,000 daily quality controls — to Benelux enterprises and mid-market customers.

The product portfolio is structured as a platform-plus-modules architecture. Core offerings include D&B Finance Analytics (credit reports and risk scoring on 500M+ companies), indueD (compliance, KYC/AML, UBO identification, PEP and sanctions screening), D&B Hoovers (sales prospecting), D&B Market Insight (market and lookalike analysis), and dataxess (CRM enrichment for Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics). Layered add-ons extend the platform into API distribution (D&B Direct+ Data Blocks, the Altares D&S Platform, Business Add-On for SAP), supplier risk management (Supplier Risk Intelligence), and ESG (D&B ESG Platform, with an Ecovadis integration claiming up to 80% faster customer due diligence). The D-U-N-S Number is positioned as the global standard identifier for business entities and is a proprietary asset of Dun & Bradstreet.

Revenue is generated through four streams: annual recurring subscriptions (minimum 12-month terms with auto-renewal) for platform access, usage-based API pricing (Data Blocks), one-time purchases of individual credit reports and D-U-N-S registrations via a self-serve portal, and professional services for implementation, training, and compliance outsourcing. Go-to-market blends enterprise field sales, inside sales for quotes and demos, API-first technical distribution, and a certified partner program for system integrators and consultants. Customer indications span financial services (ABN AMRO, Adyen), logistics (PostNL), telecommunications (VodafoneZiggo), technology (Barco, WeTransfer, CM.com), education (Vlerick Business School), and consumer tech (Takeaway), with the global D&B user base cited at 100,000+ organizations. The entity is privately held under the Altares-D&B Group, with no disclosed funding events, M&A, or leadership changes.
