Run your first search

Pick who you sell to and where, watch the count, and open a business.

  1. Open The UK book, then Businesses.
  2. Choose a starting point, such as Newly incorporated or one of your saved searches, or type a business name, a town or a type of business in the search box.
  3. Narrow it down with the filters on the left: sector, location, size and type, contact details, and signals.
  4. Watch the count. If it's huge, add a filter. If it's thin, widen the place or take one away.
  5. Open any business to read its record.
It's free to look. Searching, filtering and opening a record never use your export allowance, on any plan, including the free one.

When the list looks right, you can save the search, add the businesses to a list, or start a campaign from it.
