What data sources to find businesses in a proprietary search have people found most helpful, and why? E.g., Grata, SourceScrub, Data Axle etc.

There are insane amounts of data that is publicly available that I have used. PPP data, building permit data, DOT carrier data, etc. If you have a geographical preference there are big open data portals that might have some niche data that would be helpful.
