The Business Relationships dataset identifies and classifies connections among global companies helping to build out a comprehensive view of all the interdependent parties in a company’s ecosystem. Today we cover over 2.9M+ relationships with over 1M Customer/Supplier relationships, 600K strategic alliances and 691K Creditor/Borrower relationships among others. These relationships are broadly categorized within Suppliers, Customers and Strategic Alliances for a company. For the Suppliers and Customers of a company, we also provide the revenue and expense data which helps to provide a qualitative and quantitative context for that relationship.
