Company Ownership

What to know

We always link and classify ownership data for Companies, and where linked to Investors tie them to their profiles.

You can also access ownership tree and shareholder data for companies, tied to the individual legal entities.

How do we check ownership?

We study a variety of reliable public sources, including annual reports, investor websites, news articles and press releases. 

To keep the ownership details up to date, we continuously monitor public sources for the latest transactions.

Where can I find ownership and deal details?

The Ownership section includes data on the foundation of the company, ownership changes and the current owner:

The Platform deal section tracks the deals in which the company ownership changed. 

These include buyouts, VC funding rounds, public-to-private transactions, IPOs and strategic exits:

Acquisitions and divestments are deals in which the company acted as a buyer or seller (incl. add-ons): 

Do you include shareholder and legal entity details?

Where available, we link corporate structures and shareholding data for legal entities from national registries to Company profiles. 

That information is then available for you to dive into individual legal entity trees, explore ownership trees and ultimate shareholdings.
