Each record includes the company name, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) industry codes, location coordinates, ranges for the number of employees, annual sales volume ranges, and a quarter-over-quarter status field. Nearly 1.1 million records are compiled using best practices and undergo a regular and exhaustive telephone verification process to ensure accuracy.
