Understanding Firmographics
Firmographics are essentially the demographic details of corporations. Similar to how demographics serve individuals, firmographics delve into the characteristics of organizations. A principal aspect of firmographic information is the sector in which a business operates. At USP Data, we offer over 1000 researched report listings, in addition to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) sector categorizations. This enhancement is so pivotal to firmographic analysis that our company’s name, Unique Sector Performance Data Limited, is derived from it. The USP Data application encompasses:
- Over 1000 Researched Sectors
- 730 SIC Code Titles
- 42 Financial Selectors including Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet items, and Key Performance Indicators Ratios
- Geographic Selectors such as Region, Distance from a Postcode, County
- Shareholder Profiles detailing Age, Ownership Percentage, Number of Shareholders, and Number of Group Companies

Additionally, these niche report listings are valuable as a starting point for a buy-and-build strategy in a sector, as they facilitate the counting of additional firms in a sector akin to your initial targets.
