GDC leverages official government and reputable business data sources to verify the existence and active trading status of entities, thereby reducing friction in customer experiences. The company primarily serves financial institutions, e-commerce platforms, and other businesses requiring robust verification processes. Operating in the global market, GDC's business model revolves around offering subscription-based access to its verification platform, generating revenue through recurring fees. The acquisition by LSEG aims to enhance GDC's capabilities in the Know Your Business (KYB) and Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) spaces, further supporting clients in managing customer and third-party risks.
