Prime Prospects - Targeting for local businesses

UKBiz

For UK business samples we are uniquely able to combine information from a variety of different databases that we hold in-house to yield, probably, the most comprehensive source for B2B samples.

Primarily, UKBiiz is based upon a combination of the Experian National Business Database and the LBM Business File, supplemented, where appropriate, by Kompas and other sources - these are, in turn, based upon information from Companies House, Thompson Directories and the Credit Risk File.

Quality

More accurate data for better targeting. Independent tests have proved the data to be more accurate than other suppliers - proportionally fewer than half the 'gone aways' compared with other suppliers.

UKBiz is compiled from numerous data sources, including Companies House, Thomson directories and the Credit & Risk file. To ensure accuracy Sample Answers receives 3 fresh files each year. During 2004, Yell data was added to the database, giving us the ability to draw a truly representative sample of UK businesses.

Volume

More businesses and more selections: 5 million contacts from 1.8 million businesses. Our UKBiz file offers comprehensive coverage of the UK business universe, from contact, site and branch level up to company level:

1.8 million actively trading businesses
5 million contact names, giving comprehensive coverage of limited and public limited companies
Covers all levels, from "one man bands" operating from home, to multi-subsidiary corporations
Comprehensive coverage of non-corporates including SoHo concerns

Overall, UKBiz offers impressive breadth and depth of data with a choice of over 150 different search criteria to increase precision of targeting and improve response rates.
