Release Notes – 2025
Last updated
What's new in Business Radar in 2025.
Alert redesign
We redesigned the alert function in Business Radar making the set-up and review flow more user-friendly. The system now also calculates an estimate of the articles volume based on the filter choices.
Court cases in article feed
Began work on integrating court cases from official registries into the article feed for increased coverage on legal events.
Aliases in compliance checks
Compliance Checks now include known aliases, helping you identify potential risks linked to alternative names used by an entity.
Portfolio screening and indicators in portfolio list
It is now possible to screen an entire portfolio with only a few clicks. Upon screening, the results are indicated in the portfolio list, allowing a quick assessment of potential risks.
News coverage improvements
We improved how we search our historic news archive when you register a company, helping you build a more complete risk picture.
Additionally, we streamlined our news article collection, processing 1 Million articles per day.
Dun & Bradstreet partnership
Our partnership with Dun & Bradstreet helps ensure access to up-to-date company information, including directors. This also enables continuous monitoring for director changes and related compliance indicators.
Trade name in article display
Previously, other entities might have been shown in the article page of a company. Now, the articles are strictly restricted to the entity under review and will be linked in the article.
Categorisation
To improve coverage and filtering options, we added categories and changed how we categorise articles. If you have suggestions for additional categories, please submit them here: Business Radar Categories
Company & portfolio registration
Registering a company or portfolio is now faster and more reliable. Portfolio matching has been improved by using identifiers, resulting in a higher match rate.
Integrations
We built native integration with Hubspot, Salesforce, and more and a Python API library, accessible via https://github.com/businessradar/businessradar-sdk-python
Exclude paywalled articles
Implemented an option to exclude paywalled articles in the articles page.
UI Improvements
We made multiple usability improvements across Business Radar. One example is a smoother company registration flow when a company cannot be found immediately.
Article retention
Business Radar applies a five-year retention policy for articles.
Events timeline
The very first version of our events timeline went live. It displays major events that have happened over the last year and give you a good understanding of how certain events have influenced a company.
Data changes
To ensure better information in Business Radar, we have implemented some changes. If you would like to know more about these changes in detail, please send an email to info@businessradar.com.
Inactive directors and UBO
Since an inactive director or UBO can still have an effect on a company, they will stay visible in Business Radar. However, these inactive entities are marked as such, so that a user can determine if this additional information will be of interest or not.
General improvements
We improved our clustering further and have made some changes to how we process abbreviation, which will ensure better coverage and less false positives.
