Our data · corporate hierarchy

Corporate family tree

RampedUp identifies corporate family trees where companies publish their hierarchy — on a corporate website, a social page, or a public filing such as an SEC filing. Each entity is classified as Ultimate Parent, Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, across a company universe of 92,000,000 records.

Selling into an enterprise means knowing which legal entity you are actually talking to, and which other entities sit above and beside it. That structure is only trustworthy when it comes from something the company published itself.

Four entity classifications

Definitions as applied in the data.

Ultimate Parent

Entities that have a Parent with a Subsidiary in their corporate family tree — the top of the structure.

Parent

Entities that own a Subsidiary company, or have Affiliate company records assigned to them.

Subsidiary

Legally unique entities owned by a Parent. Subsidiaries usually have a unique name or website of their own.

Affiliate

Not legally unique — they share a website with their Parent. An Affiliate can be a regional office, an acquired company, or a recognized brand.

Sourced only from hierarchy a company has published itself. Where a relationship is not public, we do not infer one.

There’s an API for that

Everything on this page is also an endpoint. Searching and counting never decrement credits.

Use post_companies_search to find companies with a "corporateFamilySize". Then add the "companyRuId" into the Corporate Family API to identify and understand the corporate linkage.
