Global Database Signals
Event-Based Triggers from Registered Filings, News, Social Media, & Company Websites
UK Sales Intelligence vendor Global Database released Signals, its registry-based business events and alerting service. While most signal services derive their alerts from news, social media, and company websites, Global Database ingests filings from over 100 global government registries with daily updates.
Global Database monitors over 300 million registered and quoted (public) companies and their filings. Registries include Companies House (UK), EDGAR (US SEC public), Handelsregisters (Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland), and Registre du Commerce (Francophone countries).
Global Database does not aggregate or scrape data; it collects it directly from official sources on a continuous basis, with Global Database monitoring each client’s portfolio.
23 Registry-based signals are available, with users determining which are relevant and when they are material:
thresholds (e.g., revenue X%, liabilities +Z%)
conditions (e.g., UBO crosses 25%, accounts overdue)
combinations (e.g., liabilities up + overdraft appears)
time windows (e.g., within 90 days)
severity tiers (critical vs informational)
“You control what triggers an alert. Generic notifications are noise. You need precision. With Signals, you define the thresholds. Revenue up 25%? Alert. Director resigned? Alert. Liabilities exceed 500K? Alert. Your rules. Your parameters. Your business logic,” blogged Global Database CEO Nicolae Buldumac. “The result: you act on information while it’s still actionable. Before your competitors. Before the situation escalates. Before the opportunity passes.”
