KYB & due diligence: vet any company with public data

Before you onboard a supplier, sign a partner or close a deal, you need to verify the business — who runs it, is it real, is it solvent. Here's how to pull KYB & due-diligence data from public records.

What is KYB?

Know Your Business (KYB) is the company equivalent of KYC: confirming a business's legal identity, ownership and standing. It's required in fintech and regulated onboarding, and good practice for any procurement or partnership.

What to check

• Identity — legal name, registration/ID number, incorporation date.
• People — directors and officers.
• Financial health — revenue, balance sheet, capital.
• Encumbrances — charges / secured borrowings against the company.

How to get the data

Combine public-source scrapers by what you need:

• Indian Company Data — statutory MCA filings: directors (DIN), balance sheet, charges & capital by CIN. (See the CIN guide.)
• Craft.co — financials, valuation & executives.
• Owler — firmographics, revenue & news for a reality check.

Compliance note

These tools surface public company records. For regulated KYB/AML, corroborate with the official registry of record and follow your jurisdiction's requirements.
