"12,000 multinational holding companies, of which 75% are based at trust
offices"
It would be interesting to map the density of the trust offices across the
country. As we can pull Dutch company data including addresses from
Opencorporates and as the Dutch postal codes are very small entities, it
should be possible to map this.
When it comes to access to corporate financial data in NL, things are, as
far as I know, much more complicated. Opencorporates is pulling information
from the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC (US) and this could
possibly be one of the best sources of Dutch corporate financial
information at the moment.
