Reference data
Legal name, form, registered address, registration authority and status — for every entity, or “Not reported” when GLEIF has no value.
Who owns whom
Direct and ultimate parents, subsidiaries and reporting exceptions, linked into a navigable ownership graph.
A change history
GLEIF discards prior values when they change. Leibase keeps every version, so you can see how an entity evolved.
