Orbis is a global company database from Moody’s Analytics for researching, comparing, and analyzing public and private businesses. It brings together standardized firmographic, financial, ownership, corporate hierarchy, M&A, supplier-risk, and compliance data from sources worldwide. Financial institutions, corporations, public-sector organizations, compliance teams, analysts, and other enterprise users can use it for company research, credit analysis, AML, KYC, CDD, enhanced due diligence, and ownership investigations.

Pricing is handled through sales conversations, and the product is presented through a demo-led model. The published product details emphasize several delivery routes: a web interface, APIs, connectors, bulk feeds, cloud delivery, and real-time delivery. That range suits organizations that need to connect company intelligence with existing research, compliance, supplier-risk, or analytical workflows. Orbis also includes standardized reports, projected financials, financial-strength metrics, supplier-risk dashboards, and integrated Orbis M&A data covering deals and rumors. Buyers should assess which delivery method and workflow fit their internal systems before selecting an access arrangement.

Its clearest strength is breadth around company identity and relationships. Hundreds of search criteria support precise profile searches, while corporate ownership structures, corporate trees, and beneficial-ownership data are designed for tracing control and connections across businesses. The same database can support financial assessment, risk enrichment, M&A research, and due diligence rather than keeping those tasks in separate tools. Orbis is a strong fit for teams conducting cross-country investigations or repeated enterprise research. Organizations seeking only a narrow company lookup tool, or a simple publicly priced plan, should consider a more focused alternative.

    • APIs, connectors, bulk feeds, cloud, and real-time delivery options
  • Where it doesn't
    • Contact-sales pricing makes costs harder to compare
    • The broad feature set may exceed narrower research needs
    • Access spans web and API rather than a lightweight single-purpose workflow
