BizDb brings all UK companies' data at a click

Monica Wells | 16.05.2014 06:29 | Analysis | Technology

A new business database of all the UK's companies has launched the scene of business directories, bringing the UK companies closer to all customers from England and beyond. Users will find it a fast aid in searching for basic or specialist services closest to their homes, including both big corporations and small companies in its scope.

From office blocks to street corners

While searching for particular services in their vicinity, an average Internet user is more likely to start a search in a basic Internet browser. In this way, one usually ends up finding the largest company in the town which is not always the closest one. A business directory like BizDb is a more comprehensive resource, being at the same time equally easy to use as Google is. Entering your town's name or a SIC code (denoting a particular business branch), you will have at hand a choice of all the companies in your neighbourhood offering the services you need. Importantly, BizDb compiles complete up-to-date contact data and offers access guidance to every registered service provider, be they big corporations, or small entrepreneurs on the street corner. In that way, the catalogue saves your time and enables you to find any company online and access it easily in your area.

See through the corporations

If you are interested in more in-depth information on particular companies, their client or a candidate about to apply for a job, it is worth to take a closer look at your company page on BizDb. Each company profile includes not only its general description but also its market performance overview and detailed financial statements, allowing you to assess the firm's economic stability and its future development prospects. All the accumulated data is updated annually, thanks to which you are provided with a cross section of the company's history. And if you wish to get to know more about the corporate structure and the directors' names of a particular enterprise, this information is to be obtained at the bottom of each company's entry.

Data made easy for everyone

Since BizDb is designed with the aim to serve primarily the average Internet users, all the data on the website are presented in an understandable, transparent way. Rather than be fed subjective analyses of the data, the user can interpret information on his or her own. To facilitate that, financial and legal terms are briefly explained and the visual graphs displaying general economic tendencies of a company are of help. Moreover, the website's clear lay-out enhances the search and useful filters of the search tool allows to find companies by various criteria, which is particularly convenient if you happen to forget the name of a specific firm. BizDb came to life as a practical tool providing company contacts and more detailed statistics to those who search for reliable source of information on any company and service in the UK. Moreover, it allows equal chances of being accessed to both big and small firms and renders all of them open to your independent scrutiny in terms of their economic performance and structures.
