Worldwide Data and Contact Information Company For Sale

Business description

This business is truly niche market. Its core business is the acquisition, sale and purchase of worldwide lists of specific and niche market contact data. It acts as both a database owner and broker giving it a market advantage.

It researches and acquires lists of data for brokers and clients which it then either rents out or sells. Bulk data listings include fax, email, telephone, mobile, cell phone and postal mailing lists for any country worldwide. Over the years it has amassed a truly significant database of valuable commercial contact data and its clients come from all four corners of the globe.

All the data is for the commercial sector and is predominantly used for and by many large mailing houses, fax broadcasters, email marketeers, and SMS broadcasters companies across the globe. There are only two other companies who are active in this market both of whom are based in the USA. This is therefore almost a “one off” opportunity.
