| D&B is dedicated to providing you with up-to-date
and relevant information on companies around the globe, so
you can make decisions with confidence. To accomplish this,
D&B invests $250 million annually, to keep the information
fresh in our current records and add new records to the database. There
are over 1.5 million updates made to the database each and
every day. We are continually adding new companies to the
database. A new database record is added once we have
sufficient information on the business and the information
has been validated through our 2,000 automated checks to
ensure the data meets our high quality standards. At times,
you will also see the number of companies in the database
decline. At D&B, we are constantly monitoring our records
to ensure we’re providing the most accurate information,
including the removal of companies that are no longer in
business.
The charts below provide you with the number of companies
in the D&B database along with month over month changes
for Canada, the United States and the World. Also included is historical information for the past 12 months. |
