Notice Title

Fame Database for SBREC 2023/26

Notice Description

The SBREC provides a range of business support to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) across London and the UK. A key part of this support is providing access to a range of UK and Global business information and market research data to help businesses to start and scale up. All the databases sourced by the SBREC provide a unique set of data meaning that SMEs across the UK get access to reliable business information that they could not get through a simple Google search. Moreover, many small businesses would simply not be able to afford the commercial charges for this data. Business Advisers research thoroughly all databases available on the market and select those that provide the best data in an accessible format for our clients at the best price. There is currently no comparable database to Fame. Summary of the FAME Database Fame lists all companies/Limited Liability Partnerships/Community Interest Companies listed at Companies House as well as charities. It contains full financials, director details, credit scores and CCJs. It is used by our clients to research customers, suppliers and competitors and assist them in their business planning.
