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.
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
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.

Our Senior Management Team
More than 25 years on and i-4business is recognised as the leading B2B data provider for the technology sector. With Barry now retired the business remains in the family, led by Tim, James, and Becky Stevens.
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.
Becky Stevens
Financial Director
I worked for the company when I was a teenager working on client projects as part of the research team. I then pursued a career in education for 16 years including taking on the role of Deputy Headteacher. I then returned to i-4business in 2017 to lead on finance and HR.
James Stevens
Chief Technology Officer
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.
