The register extract in your file was accurate on the day it was pulled, by a person with an interest in what it said, and nobody has looked since.
Not "can you get company data". Everyone can. It is how old is the answer, and can you prove when you got it?
Direct register access: more than 200 trade registers, queried at the moment you ask, not a cached copy refreshed on somebody else's schedule.
Timestamped: every retrieval records what the register said and when it said it. That timestamp is what you show an auditor.
Normalised: a German extract and an Italian one describe the same things differently. You get one shape regardless of origin.
Documents where you need them: registry documents retrievable directly rather than requested from the customer.
More than 200 registers, queried directly rather than through a single aggregator's coverage gaps.
Stale company data is worse than none, because it looks like diligence. A director who resigned, an address that moved, a status that changed to insolvent: each is a fact your file asserts and the register contradicts.
What gets retrieved is set by risk class. A full structure with documents for one entity, a status check for another.
A stale register extract looks like diligence until an auditor checks the date.
The structure, the sources, the timestamps, and what changed since last time.
Direct and timestamped, rather than a database somebody refreshes monthly. When you tell an auditor what you knew and when you knew it, that distinction is the whole answer.
