VCCEdge also provides for a repository of merger and acquisition deals, private equity and venture capital investments, directories and financials data to create a holistic financial research platform.

The government database under Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Registrar of Companies, also has an online database of private company information. 

The iAccess is easy to access, single resource for both individuals and organisations alike that are interested in information on commercial entities, the company said.

These tools enable the user in ascertaining a company’s existence, the credibility of the entity for various business purposes, it said.
