FAQ - Business Database

What is the business database?
The business database is a collection of data about 10,747,551 businesses. The contents of the database are viewable via our Business Search Engine. While you cannot purchase the complete list, you can purchase a subset of the list by SIC Code and Geography.
How do I purchase a subset of your business database?
You can purchase any SIC category for the entire country or by state or metro area. Additionally, you can use our Customized Database tool to create a list using your own criteria. The tool will provide the price and count for any customized database. You can then create, purchase, and download your customized database immediately from the website.
Where does the data come from?
business-lists.com is a marketing company that promotes lists compiled from public sources including the yellow pages, credit inquiries, Internet, business registrations, payment experiences, public records, Secretary of State files, and more.
What guarantee do you give on the quality of the business databases?
The data is guaranteed to be 95% accurate. If you receive "undeliverables" (bad address, phone, or fax) exceeding 5%, we will refund your purchase on a pro-rated basis.
What are the restrictions on the use of the business databases?
The "terms of use" agreement always appears on the checkout page but can be summarized simply as follows: the purchaser is entitled to use the data repeatedly for marketing or internal purposes but cannot resell the data nor publish it so that non-customers can benefit from the data.

  • Mailing Address, City, State, Zip
  • Street Address, City, State, Zip
  • County

How do you deliver the data once it is purchased?
Your business database can be downloaded from the order confirmation page immediately after purchasing. You will also receive an email with download instructions if you wish to download later. All pre-packaged databases can be downloaded in Microsoft Excel CSV format. Customized databases can be created in Microsoft Access, Excel CSV, or Tab-Delimited Text. All files are compressed in a Zip format for faster downloading.
Can I create mailing labels from the list?
Please click the link below for step-by-step instructions on creating printed mailing labels. We recommend that you download your list first into Excel CSV format. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Custom Support at 877-485-5044.

Do you provide a free sample of the business database?
Yes, there are two ways you can sample our data. First, you can use our business search engine to look up records. Second, you can download a free sample of up to 100 records for any specified zip code and SIC Code. Additionally, you can also use our customized database tool to create, purchase, and download a smaller, less expensive list before purchasing a larger list. If you later decide to purchase a larger list, of which the smaller list is a subset, we will give you a full-credit towards the puchase of the larger list. Likewise, if you purchase a state or metro area list, you can upgrade to the corresponding complete national list for the difference in price.
Do you provide customer references?
Yes, we have a list of satisfied customers that we would be happy to refer you to. Please also visit our testimonials page.
