Overview

OpenCorporates maintains the largest open database of companies in the world, with more than 140 million entities across 130+ jurisdictions, including registries that are otherwise hard to reach. Every record is traceable to its public source. It suits teams that need broad, low-cost company lookups as part of a wider KYB process.

Key strengths

Very broad global coverage. More than 140 million companies across 130+ jurisdictions, including smaller registries that enterprise data vendors often skip.

Low cost at volume. Community reports cite substantial savings compared with enterprise data vendors, with per-lookup costs a fraction of legacy contracts.

Transparent sourcing. Records link back to the public register they came from, which users praise for auditability compared with opaque aggregated databases.

Straightforward integration. Engineers report integrating the REST API in days, with reliable uptime and simple client libraries.

Best for

Budget-conscious teams that need broad company registry lookups
Global KYB research requiring coverage of obscure jurisdictions
First-pass company screening as part of a multi-provider flow

What you can build

Run first-pass company lookups before escalating to paid primary-source checks
Resolve corporate structures across many jurisdictions during due diligence

Considerations

Honest notes from community data, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.

Data freshness varies by registry. Community reports mention filings that lag the source registry in some jurisdictions. For verification-grade decisions, teams pair it with a live primary-source provider such as Kyckr in the same Zenoo flow.

Registry data, not risk analytics. There are no financials or risk scores, and it is not a screening tool. Add dedicated sanctions and AML screening in your Zenoo flow rather than relying on registry data alone.

Premium fields cost extra. Community reports mention additional fees for premium data such as beneficial ownership fields. Confirm which fields your use case needs before comparing quotes.

Pricing signals

There is a free tier for light use, with community reports citing per-call pricing from pennies per lookup and enterprise agreements in the thousands to low tens of thousands per year. Users consistently describe it as the budget option against enterprise data vendors, but flag extra fees for premium fields.

Frequently asked questions

How does OpenCorporates work with Zenoo?

Activate OpenCorporates from your Zenoo account. Zenoo's AI builds the connector, typically within a day. You then get fallback routing to other providers, one contract covering every vendor in your stack, and a unified audit trail across providers.

Is OpenCorporates enough on its own for KYB compliance?

Most regulated teams use it as one layer, not the whole answer. Its breadth and price make it a strong first pass, then a Zenoo flow escalates to live registry checks, screening, and identity verification where the risk justifies it.

How fresh is the data?

It depends on the source registry. Community reports mention lags in some jurisdictions, so time-sensitive decisions usually trigger a live primary-source check in the same flow.
