Dun & Bradstreet

The company operates a recurring-revenue B2B data and software model built on proprietary business records, entity identifiers, and analytics. It collects, maintains, links, and enriches business data globally, then monetises that asset through workflow applications, APIs, data feeds, and specialised risk and compliance products. Acquisitions have been used to expand geographic coverage and deepen data assets, which in turn support more use cases and higher-value enterprise contracts.

Its products span sales intelligence, data integration, compliance monitoring, supply-chain risk, ESG intelligence, investigation workflows, business credit monitoring, and the D-U-N-S business identifier system.
