List of new businesses

[Wowfish Design]

Hi does anyone know how you find a list of new start up businesses in certain areas ?

Thomson do...

It's not cheap and some of the data isn't that fresh, but it's fairly popular.

Why do you want to target new businesses?

Problem with targeting new business is simple - they don't have money to spend, if your giving something away or something of a low cost then you may just be in luck.

Deudil used to let you search for free based on a companies incorporation date and postcode, now it's £100 a year.

Only works for limited companies but is pretty cheap as you also then get company reports etc.

They do a free trial so give it a spin and see if it's of any use.

EDIT - Just found this site which lets you search by postcode (or part) and if you set the age to 1 year will just be newly formed companies - http://www.bizdb.co.uk/companies-search/

But do bear in mind a lot of companies will use their accountants address for registration so some may be missing.

The majority of new start ups are going to have a budget of around 87p for a website. I would not pin too much hopes on that market.

And if you do, get payment in advance.

Not necessarily.
There are a lot of sites for freelancers, which allow safely transact between client and freelancer.
oDesk, for example.
And one more tip for those, looking for freelancers. Try to find natives of poorer countries, such as India, or Russia – they charge much less money for the same job.

Not always, on the occasions that I have tried to do this on a budget I have found that the 'designers' are not able to do much except simply load a template onto your website.
At the end of the day most of the time you get what you pay for and yes the same equivalent from poorer countries will be cheaper but they are also surrounded by lower skilled people who charge the same and make it hard to find the good quality ones.

You can see if any other local companies want to share the list with you to share the cost of the list. Some of the larger lists can work out Really expensive but a great tool to start off.
