World Business Book was established as the United Nations of the world’s businesses. Major world business organizations -- including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) -- have cited a need for globalization of trade and the removal of trade barriers.

World Business Book’s goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business both locally and globally, by providing the most extensive online database of companies in the world. The aim is to foster open and comprehensive exchange of business information on products, services, markets, and resources.
