Prospect research

Where can I find companies for B2B research?

Company websites, industry associations, public directories, event exhibitor lists, and professional referrals can help you identify businesses. A source that identifies a company does not automatically authorize contacting every person listed there. Use directories to discover potential fit, then verify the company’s current activities and the basis for any outreach.

How to approach it

  1. Choose sources that match your niche.
  2. Confirm the business is active and relevant.
  3. Keep a source link and research date for each record.
Illustrative example

An association directory may help you find regional manufacturers. Their own websites can then clarify products, locations, and responsibilities before you decide whether your offer is relevant.
