About Experian
Experian is a global leader in data, analytics, and decision intelligence, supporting businesses in areas like credit risk, fraud prevention, and compliance automation. As part of their ongoing product expansion, Experian aimed to enhance its company data coverage in the Netherlands and Belgium using verified registry data.
The Challenge: Gaps in Verified Company Registry Data
Experian identified data coverage gaps in the Dutch and Belgian markets that were limiting their ability to:
*Verify company identity with official registration details
*Detect dissolved or inactive businesses in real time
*Offer localized data intelligence within their client platforms
*Resell enriched datasets without usage restrictions
To maintain leadership in the region, they needed a partner that could deliver first-party data, mapped and standardized, while offering the commercial flexibility to build new products on top.

Experian partnered with Global Database to integrate standardized and structured company registry data, directly sourced from local authorities in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Key Deliverables from Global Database:
*✅ Standardized company profiles, updated regularly
*✅ Live company status tracking (active, inactive, dissolved)
*✅ Verified director and officer data from official registries

*✅ Flexible data licensing, enabling Experian to resell enriched datasets within their platforms
