Out of Business Database

Identifying closed locations in a timely fashion is critical for any data application to be optimized. This file consists only of those businesses that we have confirmed through primary research to be out of business. This confirmation most often takes place as a result of calling businesses directly, through their website or via social media updates from the business. This file is updated in real-time.

New Business Database

New businesses can be identified separately within the Infogroup Database. New businesses are sourced from federal, state, county and local sources as well as periodicals listing new business registrations. New businesses are updated in real-time with approximately 40,000 being added weekly.

Historical Business Database

The Historical Business Database provides a snapshot of the U.S. Verified Business Database for any given year between 1997 through the present. Updated annually, this file provides a means to analyze business trends over time. Analysis can be done at the industry level, market level or at the individual chain/brand level. Understand which brands are opening or closing at a higher clip than their peers; learn which industries are growing or shrinking; identify which geographic regions are developing or declining.

New Movers Database

Every year, nearly 20% of the U.S. population moves to a new residence. Infogroup's New Movers Database consists of individuals who have changed residence in the last year. It covers the entire United States and contains data from several proprietary sources such as new phone connections, change of address for credit cards and magazines and deed transfers. Insight about these movers include:  date of move, distance of move, in-state vs out-of-state move, sale price of a new home, etc.

Historical Consumer Database

This file provides a means to analyze consumer trends over time - including population growth/decline, shifts in household makeup (income, home ownership, home value, etc.) and the impact of economic conditions on those households.

Analysis can be done at any geographic level (national, state, county, city, zip, etc.).

 

ExecuReach

A unique database born from crossing Infogroup's Verified Business Database with its Consumer Database to yield 50 million super-profiles of individuals.  By combining information about a person's makeup at home (age, income, investor, credit card trade lines, number of children, home ownership, home equity, etc.) with their makeup at work (owns a small carpet cleaning business with 7 employees; is CEO of a leading private civil engineering firm with 3,800 employees, etc.), you are able to get a much richer understanding of who a person is - including their financial realities, what services they are more or less likely to consider, etc.

Infogroup's public record database is compiled from more than 8,000 U.S. federal, county and local courthouses, allowing access to the largest, most comprehensive public records collection system in the industry.

UCC Database

This database represents information about loans taken out by businesses primarily. UCC filings are done by lending or leasing institutions to establish a claim on property that has been pledged as collateral for a loan. These filings most often apply to collateral that does not already have a title or a deed (e.g. business equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, patents).
