I’m based in the UK and am just starting out on my business acquisition journey. The IBIS World reports have been incredibly useful as a starting point; however, I want to dig deeper into understanding business insights for the UK.
There are many websites offering lists of businesses, including the industry, people contacts, business size, revenue, and other data points. Sure, I can research a few and pick one, but I’m interested to hear from experienced people in the community on recommendations for business data services that cover the UK. For those folks here who have looked for off-market deals by contacting companies what data sources have proven most effective?
Any information most appreciated.
Thankyou in advance.
