Use the legal entities template to create a 360 degree view of companies, for compliance use cases or to explore investment opportunities based on the ultimate parent company. This data product provides insights into investment opportunities, powers dashboard and analytic tools, and benchmarks portfolios.

This data product template provides:

An industry-standard schema for company data.
A machine learning model that deduplicates entities within, and across, your data sources.
Data quality services for company name and country code.

Legal entities data products provide a view of companies at the legal entity, not site or location, level. For example, if a company has a branch location in Boston and another in London, these locations are represented by a single mastered legal entity. In your data, companies might mean customers, suppliers, prospects, health care organizations, portfolio companies, or another type of organization.

How many unique customers or suppliers do you have in total?
