"12,000 multinational holding companies, of which 75% are based at trust of=
fices"

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 Opencor=
porates 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 f=
ar as I know, much more complicated. Opencorporates is pulling information =
from the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC (US) and this could possib=
ly be one of the best sources of Dutch corporate financial information at t=
he moment.

All the best,
