B2BHint, a technology company based in Moldova, built a business intelligence platform that lets users access information on more than 400 million company records across 188 jurisdictions worldwide.

The platform brings together company registration details, directors, financial reports, ownership information and legal records from government registers in different countries.

According to figures displayed on its live data coverage dashboard on November 11, 2026, B2BHint holds 400,425,392 company records, covering both active and historical entities.

The platform also lists 196,396,065 records on company officers and directors, alongside 87 million financial reports available through its database.

Its coverage extends across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, as well as other jurisdictions.

B2BHint says its database is built from official government registers and filings, with each company record retaining a citation to its original source.

The company says it does not rely on information scraped from the open internet, user-submitted records or guesses.

Who Owns B2BHint and How it Collects and Organises Company Information

B2BHint is based in Chisinau, Moldova, and Crunchbase links it to two founders, Maxim Stepanov and Valeriu Shulghin.

Crunchbase identifies Stepanov as the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), while Shulghin serves as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

The two are linked to the development of the company and its technology platform.

According to company information listed on Kompass, B2BHint operates under the legal entity Bear With Me SRL.

The platform operates through a system that collects information from official registers, standardises the records and makes them accessible through company searches, individual profiles and an application programming interface (API).

B2BHint identifies three main stages in its data collection process.

The first involves obtaining information from government registers through direct feeds and official filings. Each record retains a reference to its original source.

The second stage involves standardising information from different jurisdictions into one structure.

This allows the platform to organise records from 188 different registry systems into a common format and match related entities across borders.

The third stage makes the information available through its search platform, company profiles, and API services.

B2BHint says it updates its database according to the frequency at which individual government registers publish information.

Its dashboard displays the latest successful synchronisation time, with some registers updated within hours while others take longer.

Countries Covered by B2BHint

B2BHint divides its international database into five geographical regions.

Europe accounts for 37 jurisdictions, with 132,565,523 company records, while the Americas have the most extensive regional coverage, with 72 jurisdictions and 192,813,168 company records.

Asia-Pacific accounts for 53 jurisdictions, covering 40,561,211 company records.

The Middle East and Africa region has 23 jurisdictions, with 29,897,778 company records.

Another three jurisdictions fall under the platform’s other jurisdictions category, accounting for 446,568 records.

The platform provides different levels of information depending on the country and the records published by its government authorities.

It classifies data availability into three categories: full, partial and not provided.

Full coverage means the government register publishes the information and B2BHint carries it through to its platform.

Partial coverage means only some information is available or the records are updated less frequently.

The third category applies where the government register does not publish the particular information.

Government Registers Used by B2BHint

The platform identifies several government databases as sources of its company information.

These include Companies House in the United Kingdom, the Common Register Portal in Germany and the INSEE SIRENE Register in France.

Other sources include Moldova’s State Register of Legal Entities, Romania’s National Trade Register Office and South Africa’s Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

In the Americas, B2BHint lists Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service, which provides company information through its CNPJ open data system.

In Asia, it uses Japan’s National Tax Agency Corporate Number System, while Australia’s Business Register and Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority are also among its listed sources.

The company says it has documented additional government registers used to build its international database.

Information Available on the Platform

B2BHint provides several categories of company information, depending on what individual government registers publish.

1. Company registration information

Users can access company registration details, legal status, business addresses, legal forms and incorporation information.

2. Directors and officers

The database contains 196,396,065 officer and director records.

It lets users examine individuals holding positions in companies and identify connections among people serving on multiple company boards.

3. Financial reports

B2BHint lists approximately 87 million financial reports, including annual statements filed with relevant authorities.

The financial information is presented in the currency used in the original filings.

4. Court cases and insolvency records

The platform provides access to litigation, insolvency and enforcement information in jurisdictions where such records are published.

5. Ownership and shareholders

Users can explore shareholder information, ownership structures, subsidiaries and beneficial ownership records where available.

The platform also provides ownership chains showing connections between companies operating in different countries.

6. Company events and filings

The database tracks company changes and filings over time, including changes in names, addresses, capital, and business activities where available.

How Businesses Can Use B2BHint

The platform targets organisations that need to investigate companies, assess business relationships and monitor changes in corporate records.

One of its main applications is business partner verification.

Companies can use the platform to check the registration status of potential suppliers, examine directors and review available legal records before entering into commercial agreements.

B2BHint also provides market research tools that let users identify businesses by industry, location, and financial performance.

Another application is competitor monitoring. Businesses can follow selected companies and receive alerts when changes occur, including director departures and new filings.

The platform also offers specialised searches covering lender exposure, litigation exposure, procurement exposure, insolvency exposure, trademark exposure and regulatory inspection records.

These tools let users investigate relationships involving companies, financial institutions, government agencies, and other organisations.

B2BHint’s Pricing and Business Model

B2BHint operates a subscription-based model, with different packages offering varying levels of access to company information.

Its website lists four main subscription plans.

The API provides access to company searches, registration information, financial statements, legal cases and other available records.

The company says users with confirmed email accounts receive 100 free data calls per month, subject to a daily limit.

B2BHint’s International Reach

The company says its platform has more than 180,000 registered accounts and paying customers in over 40 countries.

Its website identifies legal services, credit risk management, trade finance and know-your-business (KYB) verification among the sectors using its services.

The platform’s international coverage allows businesses to investigate companies beyond their domestic markets using information drawn from different government registers.

Its website also provides an Open Data Index, which shows the types of company information published by individual jurisdictions and identifies gaps in available records.

B2BHint says its database is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL).

Its terms of use explain that the company obtains information through government websites and APIs, publicly available datasets and Freedom of Information requests.

The terms also state that the company claims rights over the database it has assembled, while acknowledging that it does not claim ownership of information obtained from government sources.
