{log_head;} HOW DO WE COMPILE OUR DATABASE OF
11 MILLION BUSINESSES AND 110 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS?

The {BAS_VINSCOMPANYNAME}, Inc. database is the most complete and accurate source of business information for sales, marketing, credit and personal applications. Creating this database requires a staff of over 350 full-time employees, who update and verify information on a continuous, real-time basis. Here's how we do it...

We Start with the Best Basic Sources

• 5200 Yellow Page directories and hundreds of Business White Pages
• Annual Reports, 10-Ks and other SEC information
• Federal, State and Municipal Government Data
• Leading Business Magazines, Newsletters, and Major Newspapers
• Postal Service Information: NCOA, ZIP+4 and Carrier Route Files
• We don't scan information; we go through a tedious process of manually inputting each piece of information.

Then We Make 16 Million Phone Calls
To ensure the accuracy of our data, information does not go into our database until it's verified by our telephone research staff. By calling all 11 million businesses every year (and more often for larger companies), we keep up with the dynamic business environment. We confirm addresses and phone numbers, weed out companies who have gone out of business, and collect additional information: Name of the Owner or Key Executive, Number of Employees, Primary Line of Business, etc. Our telephone verification process is what sets our database apart from our competitors.

The End Result: The Best Database of 11 Million Businesses Ever Created
In terms of completeness, accuracy, and depth of information, no other source can compare to our database. Our commitment to quality at every level of the compilation effort guarantees you the best business information available.

And now... we are in the process of compiling the finest residential database for the U.S. and Canada:
110 million U.S. households; nearly 180 million people.
14 million Canadian households; over 17 million people.

This effort will allow us to help business-to-consumer marketers find new customers and grow their sales, better than ever before!
