About BizStats data

Data sources

Every official source with a link: what we take, how a record is matched to a company and how often it is refreshed.

Source of record

The publishing institution is the final authority. Critical facts should be verified using the source URL, publication date and identifiers preserved by BizStats.

Sources by dataset

Links go to the site of the institution that publishes the data. The Refresh column describes how the source is refreshed in production; “manual” means an editor starts a new import after the source publishes new data.

How records are matched

The most reliable key is the eight-digit PIB. When a source has none, a record is matched by name only if the name points to exactly one company; names that fit several companies are left unlinked. Registry people are grouped by name, so one page can cover namesakes. Report a wrong link through the Data corrections page.
