How to Find Private Company Data for ASEAN Countries

Collecting private company information from public sources

Private company data might be required for daily work like benchmarking, target screening, company profiling, and valuation.

However, in ASEAN, business professionals usually face challenges collecting this information as availability differs in individual Asian economies. 

Here are some basic ways to retrieve private company data for the ASEAN-6 region through desktop research. Websites for each region owned by their primary business regulator are shared in the table below.

You can visit the website based on the company's location to access the data. Each database will also share with you the documents that can be purchased if you require more details for your research. (Currently, Indonesia does not have a portal website to download company data)

Here we share more details of how and what information can be found on each website.

 


Singapore - BizFile

BizFile is the portal website of ACRA where you can access financial statements documents. Registration is not required. You can use the website immediately by entering the company name you are searching for. Financial statement documents are filed under each company page digitized, and can be searchable by keywords. Data with protection can also be purchased from the website, where prices are clearly stated.

Malaysia - SSM e-Info

Registration is free but requires a minimum balance in your e-account to access the company listing page. In the database, company details can be found on three different menus. 

If you already know the company's registration number you are searching for, you can access the menu "Scanned form images" and enter the number to view the information. If you only have the name of the company you are searching for, you can search from the "company business information" menu and type in the company name.

The "Scanned form images" feature shares all scanned audited financial statements listing alongside the founding date and pricing to purchase the document.

The document is browsable for free but not searchable or downloadable.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Registration required (You also need balance in your account)
  • Scanned Images of documents are browsable.
  • Company names or registration numbers can be used to search data.

Then from the right menu bar select the menu "Product Group > Products on a specific enterprise"

While the website only contains basic company information, documents require a purchase to retrieve detailed information. From the website, you can find what documents are available for purchase.

Key Takeaways:
