Massachusetts contact sourcing

Does anyone have advice on sourcing business owner contacts in Massachusetts?  Of the traditional business contact providers (ZoomInfo, Grata, etc.) are any of them better or worse in the area?  Are there publicly available sources people recommend?

I hate to be difficult, but this sounds like a weak thesis on finding businesses in general. If you were building a business, would you start by finding a list of targets or focus on your product first? Determine your unique value proposition and then do direct outreach to clients in your sector on LinkedIn. If you know the industry you want to be in, LinkedIn Sales Navigator is incredibly easy to use to find seniority and sector. Read Spears, Nets, Seads. You're thinking of only using a net, sometimes (especially in complex deal sourcing) spear fishing is better.
