What distinguishes a global from a non-global company? Also, how many of these are anonymous Delaware/Nevada/South Dakota/etc-based shell companies, or are those excluded from the dataset somehow?

I suspect it means "15 million companies from around the world".

I think they meant 'from across the globe' as in not necessarily from the US only or other specific geographies.
