Can I find company information searching by postcode or location?
Answer
For UK Companies you can use the database FAME to find registered companies of all sizes (public and private) by county, region, postcode or city.
For European Companies use the database Orbis to find larger public and private companies by: country, region, city or postcode.
For Global coverage of public and private companies try Mergent Online or S&P Capital IQ.
Mergent Online offers searching by country and city and (for the USA) state and zip code.
S&P Capital IQ - screening by geogrpahic location brings up options to pick: City or postcode/zipcode or drill down from world regions down to county and then to county/region.
