Company Search in a nutshell
Company Search offers unlimited, instant company and lead searches, enabling you to learn the key details about any business you’re looking into.

Key features of Company Search
A tool like Company Search is only useful if it delivers information instantly and easily—and that’s exactly what our service does. Simply type in the name of the business and click ‘Search’.

Why should you use Company Search?
You might be wondering why it’s so essential to always verify company information.
The answer is simple: it’s a crucial step in ensuring the legitimacy of a business, be it a potential client, contractor, or partner.
For instance, if you’re an exporter, it’s a good practice to verify the client before shipping your product. Similarly, Company Search allows you to check the financial health and registration details of a client, before you commit to performing a service for them.
But that’s not all. Company Search is also invaluable for generating leads and discovering new business opportunities, even before a company becomes a client or negotiations begin.
When you check the data of a company via the tool, one of the key pieces of information you’ll see is the names of its directors. This means you can treat Company Search as a prospecting tool, enabling you to ensure you engage with the right people either through social media or email outreach. By connecting directly with decision-makers, you can significantly enhance your outreach efforts, making it easier to turn prospects into clients.
