What would you do with a business database?
Hello good people 
.
I hope together we can come up with some really good ideas.
We are a group of open minded ,eager, entrepreneurs with a "little" amount of investment capital(depends on the work that we will do).
And have acquired a database of contacts,locations,income information... of all businesses (+200,000) in a relatively small area(In Europe).Everything is categorized by Narrowed location, Type of business , Amount of income...
If you have the time, help us out with a little brainstorming , opinions,suggestions and in general all sorts of monetizing ideas that pop to mind and can be used with this database .
For instance we have had some quick ideas:
-Connecting businesses with common needs and demands (commission)
-Starting review,article sites in all sorts of fields and than contacting the most successful companies and offer advertising
-Start a Certificate (award) site , and give out (sell rights of use) certificates of quality to most successful companies to use (websites , brochures...)
-Offer to send out bulk emails to specific type of companies for a fee (but have to see legal issues for spam in our country)
-...
But we have only begun to scratch the surface .
I know that their are a lot of very creative people on this forum and i wanted to see if together we can dig in a lot deeper .
I hope you can give us a helping hand , a little bit of your time and in general have a little fun with creating new ideas .
Many Thanks, Jake.
