Search in Germany: Tips / Best practices for sources for primary research

November 22, 2019

Hi,

I'm considering a self funded search in Germany (focus on Bavaria). I'd be grateful for tips / experience with tools, databases and approaches successful searchers in Germany have used for primary research on companies and also industries. I guess bundesanzeiger is one main source as are IHK/industry publications - but im wondering what else has been useful.

Given the limited budget of a self funded search, budget for expensive tools is most likely also limited.

thank you
Peter

Followed. We are working with several search funds across the DACH region to automate the entire proprietary outreach process with machine learning. Thanks to the scale of our processes, we have a lot of data/analytics on what we have seen to working well (ie. response rates based on message types, data point tracking and validation). Happy to chat if you're interested,
