Frequently Asked Questions — US & Global B2B Company Databases in Excel
Everything US and international revenue teams need to know about our unlocked Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) and CSV datasets, NAICS/SIC and 5-digit ZIP code filtering, C-level decision-maker fields, one-time USD licensing, and B2B regulatory compliance.
1. File Formats, Data Columns, NAICS/SIC Codes & US ZIP Code Filtering
Q1: What exact file formats do I receive after purchasing a B2B database?
Every purchase unlocks immediate access to Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) and/or UTF-8 Comma-Separated Values (.csv) spreadsheets packaged inside a high-speed compressed archive (.zip or .rar). All files are 100% unlocked with zero DRM, password restrictions, or row limits, ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, PowerBI, SQL, or import into any CRM.
Q2: What data columns are included for each company record?
Standardized fields across our 31 national databases include: Company_Legal_Name, Trade_Brand_Name, Primary_NAICS_SIC_Code, Industry_Category_Description, Street_Address, City_Metro, State_Province, Postal_ZIP_Code, Country_ISO, Direct_Phone_Switchboard, Verified_Corporate_Email, Corporate_Website_URL, Employee_Headcount_Bracket, Annual_Revenue_Range, and Executive_Role_Department.
Q3: Can I filter the US Business Email List by 5-Digit ZIP Code, County, State, or NAICS/SIC Industry?
Yes. Unlike traditional list brokers (`LeadsPlease`, `InfoUSA`, `Data Axle`) that charge `$0.15–$0.35 per record` for every single ZIP code or SIC query, our United States B2B Database ($127 USD one-time) includes all 50 US states, every 5-digit US ZIP code, and 26+ major NAICS/SIC industry verticals in one master file so you can slice and filter unlimited local or industry segments in Excel forever.
Q4: Can I test a free Excel sample (.xlsx) before buying the full country database?
Yes! Visit our Free Sample Download Portal to download a live Excel sample for the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, UAE, Australia, or any of our 31 countries immediately—no credit card required.
2. Small Business Owners, C-Level Decision Makers & Email Verification
Q5: Does the database include Small Business Owners and C-Level Executives (CEO, CFO, CTO, HR Directors)?
Yes. Our datasets combine verified corporate domain emails with executive role and department routing for Small Business Owners, Founders, Presidents, CEOs, CFOs, Controllers, CTOs, VPs of IT, HR Directors, Marketing Directors, and Procurement/Operations Managers where disclosed in statutory corporate filings and verified company directories.
Q6: How often are the corporate email addresses verified and what is the expected deliverability?
Every national database is refreshed quarterly. Our pipeline cross-checks active corporate status against national registries (US Secretary of State, UK Companies House, German Handelsregister, Spanish Registro Mercantil, Dutch KVK) and runs automated DNS/MX and SMTP verification to maintain a 92%–96%+ deliverability benchmark.
Q7: Are personal consumer emails (@gmail.com, @yahoo.com) excluded?
Yes. Our repositories are strictly B2B commercial directories focused on registered corporate entities and business web domains, ensuring clean B2B sender reputation when importing into Apollo.io, Instantly.ai, Smartlead, HubSpot, or Salesforce.
3. One-Time USD Pricing, Perpetual B2B License & Instant Delivery
Q8: Is the price a one-time payment in US Dollars ($ USD) or a monthly subscription?
100% one-time payment in US Dollars ($ USD). Whether you purchase a single country database (from $78 to $178 USD), the North America Pack ($249 USD), or the Global 31-Country Master Pack ($449 USD), you pay once and own a perpetual organizational commercial license with zero recurring charges.
Q9: How fast do I receive my download links after paying via Stripe or PayPal?
Instantly. As soon as your Credit/Debit Card (Stripe) or PayPal payment clears, your download links unlock immediately on the Order Confirmation screen and are simultaneously emailed to your checkout address.
Q10: How does the 14-Day Data Replacement Guarantee work?
If any dataset shows a hard-bounce rate above 10% within 14 calendar days of purchase, simply submit your dispatch log via our 24/7 Technical Support Center and our data engineering team will provide verified replacement corporate records at no extra cost.
4. US CAN-SPAM, CCPA, EU GDPR Compliance & Corporate Identity
Q11: Is B2B outreach using these corporate databases compliant with US CAN-SPAM, CCPA, and EU GDPR?
Yes. All records consist of publicly registered commercial entity data compiled from statutory government registries and commercial directories. In the United States, B2B commercial outreach is governed by the federal CAN-SPAM Act and CCPA B2B public-record provisions; in the European Union and UK, legal-entity corporate data falls under GDPR Recital 14 and Article 6(1)(f) Legitimate Commercial Interest for relevant B2B trade communication.
