• Quality Data - The primary data provider, GeoResults Inc., has supplemented the base business data with its own primary and secondary business research and added in over 400,000 additional businesses across a variety of industries. This improved process has helped greatly with enterprise and multi-site businesses that were previously missing from the base data. In addition, GeoResults has enhanced the SIC and employee counts modeling process for all businesses to further refine this important information. As a result, the Business Points database accuracy and overall comprehensiveness displays marked improvements and continues to provide the best overall value in a national business database available.
• Site Employee Validation/Re-Distribution Process - Our methodology maximizes the reasonableness of employee values throughout our entire national dataset. It is not enough that an employee value was reported to be X – the question is: "Is X reasonable?" The results are that our employee values fit in a reasonable expectancy curve, and allow the most accurate analysis possible.
• Comprehensive Business Database - The total number of business records equals 15,171, 484 – with 100% containing Business name, SIC Code (8-Digit), NAICS Code, Address information, Employee sizes and Sales volumes, at both the individual location and parent company. Over 87% of the total business records geocoded to street-level accuracy!
