Company Due Diligence Intelligence

Automated company due diligence using free public APIs — replacing D&B Hoovers ($15K–$37K/yr) at $0.05 per analysis. Built for compliance teams, investors, and procurement professionals who need structured, auditable corporate data without enterprise SaaS contracts.

What does Company Due Diligence Intelligence do?

Company Due Diligence Intelligence pulls structured corporate data from four authoritative public sources — SEC EDGAR, GLEIF LEI, SAM.gov, and OpenCorporates — and consolidates them into a single scored output. Each run targets a specific company by name, ticker, or SEC CIK number and returns data formatted for downstream use in spreadsheets, databases, or compliance workflows.

The Actor supports five analysis modes. You can run a quick company profile check (SEC registration, LEI identifier, corporate registry matches), a financial health assessment using SEC XBRL financials (revenue, debt ratios, net income), a litigation risk scan (SEC enforcement actions and regulatory filings), a supply chain risk check (SAM.gov contractor exclusions and debarment records), or a full due diligence report that combines all sources and produces a composite Risk Score from 0 to 100.

No proprietary databases, no subscriptions, and no manual web scraping — every data point traces back to a government or international standards body registry. The output schema is consistent across runs, making it suitable for automated monitoring pipelines and recurring compliance checks.

Key features

• 5 analysis modes — company profile, financial health, litigation risk, supply chain risk, and full due diligence report
• SEC EDGAR integration — resolves CIK by ticker or company name, fetches submission history, recent filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), SIC codes, EIN, and registered addresses
• GLEIF LEI lookup — retrieves the Legal Entity Identifier and registration status from the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation
• OpenCorporates corporate registry — matches company name against international corporate registrations to confirm jurisdiction and active status
• SEC XBRL financial data — extracts structured financials (revenue, net income, total assets) from SEC company-facts API for public companies
• SAM.gov exclusion check — verifies whether a company or principal is excluded from US federal contracting due to debarment or suspension
• Composite Risk Score 0–100 — weighted scoring across financial health, regulatory compliance, and contractor status
• Data completeness tracking — reports which sources returned data and calculates a completeness percentage per result
• Automatic CIK resolution — finds SEC CIK from company name or ticker without manual EDGAR lookup
• No API key required — SEC EDGAR, GLEIF, and OpenCorporates are open; SAM.gov works with DEMO_KEY by default

Use cases

• Procurement and vendor management teams: Verify supplier registration status and SAM.gov exclusions before awarding contracts
• M&A analysts: Pull SEC filing history and XBRL financials for target company financial health assessment before deeper diligence
• Compliance officers: Screen counterparties against SEC enforcement records and confirm active LEI status for regulatory reporting
• VC and PE firms: Batch-check portfolio company registrations and financial indicators across multiple companies
• Law firms: Pull public corporate data as an auditable starting point for client due diligence without manual EDGAR navigation
• Startup founders: Verify a potential business partner's SEC filings, corporate status, and SAM.gov eligibility before signing contracts

Pricing

Each successful analysis costs $0.05 under Apify's pay-per-event model. You only pay when a result is successfully pushed to the dataset. Failed runs are not charged. Learn more about pay-per-event pricing.

At $0.05 per query, running 1,000 due diligence checks costs $50 — compared to D&B Hoovers at $15,000–$37,000 per year for comparable data access.

API and integrations

Call this Actor via the Apify API, schedule recurring runs for ongoing supplier monitoring, or connect results to Google Sheets, Zapier, or Make for automated compliance workflows. Results are available as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify dataset.

Limitations

• Coverage is strongest for US-incorporated companies with SEC EDGAR filings. International coverage depends on GLEIF and OpenCorporates, which may return partial data for smaller private companies.
• Financial data (XBRL) is only available for SEC-registered public companies. Private companies will return no financial health data.
• SAM.gov DEMO_KEY is rate-limited to 10 requests per hour. Provide a free SAM.gov API key for production use.
