If you want to target new companies in the Eurozone, or reduce risk by evaluating company credit scores, the Market Research Centre subscribes to world class company information databases for you to avail of. The significance of this information is that you can access Credit reports, Financials, Employee Numbers, Parent Companies, Director Information and Current Ratios of a company.
This is a valuable resource especially as it’s crucial to carry out any due diligence checks before you go into business with a company, necessary compliance checks, or indeed if you need to carry out KYC (know your customer )checks. Database subscriptions can cost in the thousands- as it’s gathered from country registration offices i.e. CRO or UK Companies House, or also from the courts, in terms of judgments, CCJ’s or other official sources.
From another angle, if you are thinking of targeting new global markets , or even looking at Irish/UK sales opportunities, these databases can be used to compile a listing by way of identifying potential customers, collaborators, and competitors. You can filter lists by industry, location, turnover, employee size and also include key contact details, where available.
If you are an Enterprise Ireland client and want to avail of these beneficial services in our Market Research Centre, email market.research@enterprise-ireland.com or ring +353-1-727 2859.
