We are i-4business, the leading EMEA B2B Database 

Our B2B contact database was developed and tailored specifically for B2B organisations. Our contact data is used  throughout Europe, helping sales and marketing teams successfully drive pipeline.

The leading enterprise B2B Database provider for EMEA

Our focus has always been on delivering actionable B2B EMEA contact data for technology providers through our online database platform. We have the largest depth of enterprise B2B contact data for the EMEA region available in the industry and we're the only international marketing database researched totally in-house by native speakers.

 

Data Researchers

Lots has changed since our inception in 1996 but what hasn't is our obsession with data quality. We live and breathe B2B data research because, unlike some suppliers, we don't buy in any of our data. Instead, we have always insisted that real people in our UK-based research teams must compile and update our database in real-time every day.

Complete & Compliant Data

Not only that, our researchers are judged on the accuracy and completeness of data alongside compliance rather than just numbers. This is a non-negotiable for us to ensure that quality remains high and that we continue to be the most compliant data provider in the industry. 

i4b GDPR Data Compliant

Unambiguous Data Guarantee

And we don't just 'talk the talk' when it comes to the accuracy and compliance of our data, we guarantee it in our SLAs. That's an unambiguous contractual commitment that ensures you can have complete confidence that your campaigns are reaching the right people in the right organisations every time.

Our Story

Specialist Data Provider since 1996

i4b Management Team Barry Stevens

Barry Stevens

Founder

i-4business was founded
in 1996 by Barry Stevens,
who after a successful career
in the technology industry, including as a principal for
Spikes Cavell, had identified
the need for a specialist
provider of EMEA B2B contact
data. 

Here's just some of our clients today

 i-4business launched as a B2B data provider, initially to just 3 clients! TSG Software (still a client today), BGS Systems (acquired by BMC Software, also a client today), and Sterling Software (acquired by CA Technologies, who then became a client as well). Since then our list of data subscribers has grown significantly, here's just a few!

Innovating B2B Data Provision

We consistently strived to be at the forefront of data provision innovation. As a result, from the very beginning, clients have received data updates automatically via email-based database synchronisation and we were the first to employ 100% cloud technology. We also expanded our coverage – firstly to cover all of Western Europe, then the Middle East, and then South Africa.

B2B Exclusive

With our focus solely on B2B, this approach proved successful with major tech vendors such as NetApp, Gartner, Google, Amazon, Dell, SAP, HP, Juniper, IBM, Oracle, Safenet, and Varonis using our data alongside many smaller, start-up organisations who have taken advantage of our cost-effective data subscription models.

Managing Director

Tim Stevens, Managing Director

I have been helping technology organisations improve the effectiveness and accuracy of their sales and marketing prospect data for over 15 years which has given me an in-depth knowledge regarding prospect data and B2B data processes. As a family business, I started working at i-4business when I was 15, working in the research team before moving into a research management role, and then worked my way up within the client-facing teams before becoming MD. Over the last 5 years, I have worked closely with our CTO on our API and integrations with other platforms.

I have been with the company from almost the very beginning when I started with phone research. As the company grew, I took on a more technical role where I created the first cloud-based data portal of its kind, pioneering the next generation of data delivery. My role has also now expanded to include responsibility for all IT decisions.

Meet the People Behind our Data

We firmly believe our data is only ever as good as our people so that's why we invest in them.  Our researchers always full-time employed by us, based in the UK and native speakers who work in 9 languages. Each researcher also completes a comprehensive training with on-going monitoring for quality control under the guidance of one of our research managers.
