Corporify partners with Altares Dun & Bradstreet
A single, reliable source of truth for legal entity data is essential. Through our partnership with D&B we bring verified global company information straight into the Corporify platform.
At Corporify, we work every day with the legal realities of complex organizations, ownership structures, board compositions, shareholder registers, and the documentation that holds it all together. Our platform currently manages more than 33,000 entities across 85 jurisdictions, and one thing our clients never let us forget is how much is riding on the accuracy of that data.
A financing round. A merger. A regulatory audit. In any of these moments, incomplete or unverifiable legal information isn't just an inconvenience — it can kill a deal.
Our clients must be able to demonstrate that their information is accurate and traceable. A financing round or transaction can fall through at the last minute if it turns out that the legal housekeeping is not in order. That's not theoretical. It actually happens in practice.
The problem we kept running into
Legal and finance teams have increasingly complex reporting obligations. KYC, AML, UBO registration: the regulatory workload keeps growing, and so does the number of data sources teams are expected to juggle.
The core issue wasn't a lack of data. It was fragmentation. Teams were pulling information from multiple systems, cross-referencing spreadsheets, and manually verifying details that should simply be available, consistent, and audit-ready. Every manual step is a potential error. Every inconsistency is a liability.
We knew that to truly serve our users, we needed to solve this at the data layer and not with another workflow workaround.
What we built with Altares Dun & Bradstreet
Since 2024, we've integrated the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud directly into the Corporify platform through the D&B Direct+ API. Specifically, we use the Identification and Directors data blocks, giving our users real-time access to verified corporate structures, management layers, and ownership relationships, all linked through the unique D-U-N-S identifier.
The D-U-N-S number is what makes this powerful. It's a globally recognized identifier that allows us to unambiguously link entities across jurisdictions. No more ambiguity about whether two records refer to the same company.
The result is not a static register. It's a living, checkable, shareable data layer that is audit-ready by design.
Thanks to this integration, our users have a true single source of truth. Our users no longer need to consult different sources and spreadsheets. A l data is centrally available and verified.
The impact for our users
The practical gains have shown up in three areas:
Speed: Identification and verification processes that used to involve manual lookups across multiple sources are now largely automated. Legal and finance teams get to the information they need faster and with confidence.
Accuracy: The consistency of D&B data directly improves the quality of company files. Structural information is less likely to be incomplete or out of date, which means fewer surprises when it matters most.
Deal-readiness: Organizations using Corporify can now respond quickly when opportunities arise. They don't need to scramble to get their legal house in order — it already is.
Where we're headed
With clients active across 85 jurisdictions, we're building for the future as much as the present. Real-time monitoring and AI-driven risk analysis are on our roadmap — capabilities that will allow organizations to move from reactive compliance to something more strategic.
"We want organizations to be able to not only react, but also look ahead," says Olivier. "Accurate data is a prerequisite for this. It makes compliance less reactive and more strategic. Our partnership with Altares Dun & Bradstreet is central to that vision."
"Our collaboration with Altares Dun & Bradstreet is future-oriented. There is no other party in the market that offers business information at this level and on this scale. We share the same vision of the future of legal compliance: that data and technology not only reduce risks but also create opportunities."
— Olivier Van Borsel, CEO at Corporify.
