People looking for a Dun & Bradstreet alternative usually want one of two very different things: a cheaper way to pull single-company reports, or a way to find many companies to target. GalimAI is only the second of those - and it is honest about that.
GalimAI is not a company-report or credit-check tool, and does not try to be. A credit report tells you everything about one company you already know. GalimAI does the opposite job: it finds thousands of property-owning companies that match a specific financial situation at a specific time, so you can run targeted acquisition campaigns at scale, for far less per target.

What Dun & Bradstreet is genuinely good at
Dun & Bradstreet holds over 500 million global business records and provides credit, trade-payment and risk data, with D&B Hoovers for sales prospecting. Its global coverage and enterprise data depth are hard to match for multinational risk. For vetting a counterparty, making a credit decision or monitoring risk, Dun & Bradstreet is the right tool and GalimAI is not a substitute for it.
Where GalimAI is different
GalimAI is property-specialised and built for targeting, not reporting. It layers signals a general credit tool does not carry - EPC ratings, HM Land Registry ownership, acquisition dates - onto company financials, so you can pull, in one search, every property-owning company in a situation: low or negative cash, declining net assets, EPC stock that cannot be re-let, recent buyers on thin equity, insolvency flags. Dun & Bradstreet is global and enterprise-grade; GalimAI is UK property-specialised and built for finding and timing property owners in distress, at scale. It is signal-level, not bureau-grade, and that is the point: you are building a campaign list of thousands, not underwriting one deal.
When to use which
Use Dun & Bradstreet when you already know the company and need depth and accuracy. Use GalimAI when you do not yet know the companies and need to find them - property owners in a given financial state, at scale, ready for outreach.

Why it's an opportunity
A report tells you about a company you found. The harder, more valuable job is finding the right companies in the first place.
- Start from the situation - pull every property owner matching a distress signal, not one report at a time.
- Campaign at scale - thousands of targets in one search, at a fraction of per-report cost.
- Reach them at the right time - timing the signal is what turns a list into deals.

Is GalimAI as accurate as Dun & Bradstreet?
No, and it is not meant to be. Dun & Bradstreet is a bureau-grade report on one company. GalimAI is signal-level intelligence across many property companies, built for targeting and outreach at scale, not credit decisions.
Why use GalimAI instead of pulling Dun & Bradstreet reports?
Because your job is finding companies, not vetting one. GalimAI returns thousands of property owners in a financial situation in one search, far cheaper per target than pulling individual reports.
