USE CASE:
Working out which registered business sits behind a brand
The job here is working out which registered business sits behind a brand, and every real option for legal entities is below, ours and everyone else's. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for this kind of work, and Legal Entity Resolver is the one aimed at legal entities.
What is actually going wrong
Finance needs the registered company, not the brand on the website. Those are different strings, often in different countries, and the connection between them is not published anywhere obvious. Compliance and contract teams hit this on every deal and usually solve it by asking the customer, which is slow and looks unprepared.
Traditional Search Tools
- The company's own footer. In the UK and most of the EU the registered name and number are required on the website. It is the fastest lookup there is and people forget it exists.
- Dun and Bradstreet or a KYC vendor. Built for regulated onboarding, with the coverage and the price that implies. If you have a compliance obligation you probably already have one.
- Search the register. Companies House, the SEC, the local commercial register. All free, all authoritative, and all requiring you to already know roughly what you are searching for.
