Hi! There are a lot of mergers/acquisitions in our industry. Is there a way to verify if a company is still an active business or not?
Hi Nicole, thanks for reaching out! Great question!
To clarify, are you defining "active" businesses as companies that have not been merged or acquired?
Correct! Or vice versa - I suppose whichever is easier to upkeep/take less credits.
For now, the use case is a one-time enrichment of all companies in our database to confirm it is still an active business. In the future, I would like this as an ongoing alert/check
Got it Nicole! We actually have an Ownership status waterfall you can use here that only costs 1 credit per row! You can search here by Company LinkedIn url or Company Domain. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1258124367/bb397160f0260fad9ad732f5393f/CleanShot+2024-11-19+at+13_27_08%402x.png?expires=1732042800&signature=356a00b614d881cf7cf202b6a65fd3b9c6ebceecfc52e3f3c54d930c52bf51e2&req=dSIiHsh8mYJZXvMW1HO4zUz7ybYngmnConF6gwVc0b4mViQp5BTmNeHlLNxW%0ABeQV%0A
Thank you! Can you please quickly explain what "ownership" is defined as and what I can expect as output?
Hey Nicole, this will tell you if a company is publicly or privately held!
If you're looking for the merged/acquistion stage specifically, you can use the Funding Stage waterfall, which will return the exact stage/series a company is in (exit/acquisition being one of them) https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1258143007/feeff58f4c4934e32cc16773ef07/CleanShot+2024-11-19+at+13_40_17%402x.png?expires=1732043700&signature=7524f8d509e2cffa3dab980363dba2c2a5afd380bc6a25a80fbabe4969057df7&req=dSIiHsh6noFfXvMW1HO4zZ7W5rQfdl1Y%2BtrLZuIPESqHOxmUaDsgrBgYfWRw%0A7RKc%0A
