Free and discounted access for start-ups and public-interest work
Early-stage companies, journalists, researchers, NGOs and academics often need the public record without the budget for a full licence. This page explains what is available, who it is for and how to apply.
Who it is for
Access is considered for the following groups:
- Early-stage companies building compliance, onboarding or risk checks into a product.
- Journalists investigating sanctions, politically exposed persons, debarments or company ownership.
- Researchers and academics studying sanctions, corporate transparency or public procurement.
- NGOs and other public-interest organizations doing due diligence or accountability work.
What you get
Two routes are available. Both use the same records, credited to their publishers and dated, as the paid products.
| Route | What it covers | Published allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Start-up trial | Screening API access to test an integration before a commercial decision. | |
| Non-commercial use | Use for research, journalism and public-interest work that does not generate commercial revenue. The conditions are set out in the non-commercial use terms. |
Figures shown are the published allowances. Where a price is not yet published, the page says so.
Eligibility, discounts and duration
The rules for eligibility, the discount levels and how long a discount lasts are being finalized.
