What Orbis is
Orbis is a paid company-information service for finding, comparing, and analyzing businesses worldwide. It covers more than 635 million companies, blending data from over 170 sources, including financials, firmographics, ownership, foreign investments, and M&A activity. Corporate trees map beneficial owners and more than 2 billion ownership links. Users can apply hundreds of search criteria, explore ownership, and use alerts, heat maps, graphs, and pivot analyses. Standardized reports, financial-strength metrics, and modeled projected financials support analysis; a financial-strength indicator may appear when complete financial information is unavailable. Access is available through the web interface, APIs, connectors, bulk feeds, cloud, and real-time delivery. Office add-ins can populate Microsoft templates with live data. Orbis supports compliance, due diligence, supplier and credit risk, cyber risk, sales, finance, and tax work. It includes Bitsight ratings for more than 6 million entities. A free trial is offered, while pricing is on request.
