How does BvD enrich the ownership data ?
BvD merges the ownership data it receives from all its IPs into one big database. This information is then analysed to identify each crossborder holding/subsidiary link by the national identification number of the companies involved. BvD also enriches this database by the data it collects directly from the companies (e.g. annual reports listing shareholders and subsidiaries, private communications i.e. questionnaires sent to the companies) or from any other available source.
