^redacted‌ - Controversial take: data platforms are overrated. If you want to avoid overpriced search engines that provide enriched data that would be easily accessible online or on linkedin, I would suggest you try offline resources for scraping comany information that may not have a digital presence or, if you wish to stick to online, leverage searchfunder assets or google maps. Sure, there is a bit os systems to put in place and know-how to acquire, but once you understand how to find deals outside of platforms, you will be competing on a different level as many others will just stick to what is available on these search engines. If you do what most people do, you will get what most people get, and when buying a small business we all know that the vast majority of deals don't close..
