      It's really good although I've heard in some areas it's not as good. A lot has to do with how the records are kept at the county level I think.

      I find a lot of stuff like new branches opening as well, so it's not always technically a new business being formed.

        Hi, if you're from the UK, then I'd suggest the local Chamber of Commerce who should be able to assist in your quest for finding local small business contacts.
        I've used them in the past with great success.

    My area has a news paper that is mailed to me every month. Among other things, it listed businesses that are going to open, newly opened and recently moved. My town is tech heavy, so many have an online presence, but that does not mean optimized. You could see if there is something similar in your area.

    YOu can go to your local library and ask if they have access to Reference USA.. I've used that numerous times in the past.. you can look up newer businesses as well as all the other important credentials.... revenue, number of employees, have a website, etc.... (23 million businesses in their database) and it's free

    Business Journal lists these, I haven't tried them yet so I don't know how fresh they are but it's $50/year for the PDF version and they come out every Friday.

    You can go to your local county clerks office and for a small fee like $10-$20 they will give you a print out of the name and address of all the new businesses that have been registerd and opened in your area for the past 2 years, so this is one way to get new small business contacts.

    I hope this helps,

    Martin
