Firmographics (Company Core Profiles)

Overview

The Veridion Core Company Profiles dataset includes comprehensive firmographic and operational attributes for businesses globally, representing a stratified random sample of 20% of companies per country from the full Veridion universe of 134M+ firms.

This dataset contains company identifiers including exchange ticker symbols for public companies, geocoded headquarters locations, industry classifications (NAICS 2022, SIC Rev.4, NACE Rev.2, UK SIC 2007), and size metrics including employee counts and revenue, answering questions about what companies do, where they operate, how large they are, and what markets they serve.

The dataset is particularly valuable for research on private companies and SMEs that are typically underrepresented in traditional financial databases.
