Where can I find B2B prospects for free?
Last updated
Free, public sources include state business registries (new filings), state license lists (for example, newly licensed contractors), SEC EDGAR filings such as Form D for companies that just raised money, companies' own websites and careers pages, and press releases. Check each source's terms of use before collecting data, and keep to business contact information.
Examples
- State business registries: new entities by date.
- State license lists: for example, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's license search.
- SEC EDGAR: Form D filings show companies that recently raised money.
- Company sites: careers pages, news pages, location pages.
The hard part isn't finding names; it's checking fit, finding a reason to reach out now, and writing something worth replying to. That's what our free preview shows.
