What is a business contact database?

What a business contact dataset contains, what it does not contain, and how buyers typically use one lawfully.

A business contact database is a structured list of organisations with the details needed to identify and reach them: company name, phone number, website, address, city, postal code and — where available — a business email address and category.

What a typical row looks like

Company name	Phone	City	Postcode	Website	Category
Example Trading Ltd	+44 20 7946 0000	Exampletown	AB1 2CD	https://www.example.com	Restaurants

Every dataset page on this site shows the exact columns delivered and how many rows have each column filled in (the coverage percentage).

What it is not

It is not a list of private individuals' personal details.
It does not include sensitive categories such as health, religion, political opinion, financial account data or government identifiers.
It is not "permission to contact". Buying a dataset does not give consent from the businesses in it.

Common lawful uses

Market sizing and territory planning (how many businesses of a type exist in a region).
Enriching or de-duplicating an existing CRM.
B2B outreach where local law allows it, after screening against suppression lists such as the UK TPS/CTPS or the US National Do Not Call Registry, and honouring opt-outs.

Questions to ask any seller

How many records exist, and how many will I receive?
Which fields are included, and what percentage of rows have each one filled in?
When was the data last processed?
Will a repeat purchase give me the same rows again?
