Hey Searchers,

We are renewing our future contracts for 2025 and I was just wondering which of these services you guys found the most useful.

1) Ibisworld - industry research
2) BVR - transaction details
3) Data Axle - company listings

All of these will definitely be available in the upcoming year but we're thinking about expanding our relationships if it is helpful to you guys.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

^redacted‌, appreciate the question. Here are my thoughts on the three resources mentioned:
1) Ibisworld- Great resource for macro data. Good as is. I have found it very useful.
2) BVR- The data is great but the formatting is not very user friendly. Adding search by Primary SIC code would be nice. Adding columns with MVIC/Discretionary Earnings and MVIC/EBITDA (data is located in "See Details" but it would be nice to see data columns with search results)
3) Data Axle - General function is ok. Most useful if you know exactly what you are looking for. Adding search by Primary SIC could be helpful. Search function could be improved a bit.
