The platform lets users look up companies and retrieve structured information drawn from public registers and filings, including financial figures and corporate events. The service is built around two search modes. A 'Simple Search' (Einfache Suche) is available to general users, while a more advanced 'Power Search' (Power Suche) is reserved for customers of the North Data Premium Service. The Premium offering unlocks detailed filtering by financial key figures (Kennzahlen) and by corporate events (Ereignisse).

Event filters cover address changes, updates, insolvency proceedings, changes of control, registrations, opening of insolvency proceedings, subsidies, continuation, articles of association, annual financial statements, capital changes, LEI issuance, liquidation, deletion, management changes, trademarks, mergers/acquisitions, name changes, patents, legal-form changes, register changes, statutes, and restorations. North Data frames its mission in terms of transparency, quoting Immanuel Kant's 1795 essay 'Zum ewigen Frieden' on publicity and right, and arguing that democracy and the economy need transparency. It positions thorough knowledge of potential business partners as a long-standing commercial virtue, so that parties know whom they are dealing with before making contact. The company is recorded as a business in Wikidata (Q117469953). It is a privately held German company; specific founding details, headquarters address, and ownership are not established by the available evidence.
