fresher than this snapshot:

- standardized **industry labels** (human-readable, mapped across sources) and
  the complete industry taxonomy behind each slice,
- standardized **English legal form** and **status** (e.g. `GmbH` / `Osaühing`
  → "Private limited liability company"),
- **contact details** (email, phone) and full street addresses where known,
- enrichment: officers & owners, revenue and employee estimates, opening
  hours, ratings and more.

Browse [https://companies.directory](https://companies.directory) or use the API ([docs](https://companies.directory/docs)).

## Provenance / sources

Records are classified by companies.directory from open location datasets
(Overture Maps via BrightQuery, Foursquare, OpenStreetMap POIs) and, where
available, official registers. Names, categories, cities and websites come
from those sources; contact details (email, phone), social profiles and street
addresses are withheld from this snapshot and live on
[companies.directory](https://companies.directory).

| Origin dataset | Records |
| --- | --- |
| overture | 23,149 |
| foursquare | 15,095 |

This file is one slice of the **companies.directory** global company database.

- **300M+ companies in one place.** Every country we cover, normalized to one
  schema — not 50 incompatible register exports.
- **API access.** Query, filter and enrich programmatically over the full
  database (name, registration number, country, city, industry, status and
  more). Start at [https://companies.directory/docs](https://companies.directory/docs).
- **Additional fields not in this file.** Where a source publishes them:
  normalized registration numbers, trade names, standardized legal form and
  status, industry codes (ISIC Rev. 5), officers & directors, revenue,
  employee counts, geocoding, websites, emails and phones — see
  [companies.directory](https://companies.directory).
- **Bulk download.** The complete multi-country dataset is available as a
  single bulk download.
- **Dedicated infrastructure.** A hosted, indexed PostgreSQL deployment with
  sub-second search across hundreds of millions of rows.
