Free Market Research

The Quad Cities Chamber, in partnership with Eastern Iowa Community College District, offers a FREE data-mining service called Business Information for Growth, or BIG. This service, provided to Iowa and Illinois business owners and entrepreneurs, is a highly-sophisticated online database and research tool that can help identify new opportunities for your business to grow.

Access to these databases is often cost-prohibitive for many businesses; however, the BIG service is available at no charge. It takes only a brief training session to learn how to use the following BIG databases:

Provides vital company information and statistics on over 14 million U.S. companies. Available through a partnership with the Davenport Public Library

Provides vital company information and statistics for 72 million companies, including public, non-public and international businesses.

A leading provider of industry market analysis tools that help sales and marketing teams perform faster and smarter.

Provides industry sector analysis and research, industry trends and industry statistics.

Provides contact information and demographic statistics on more than 18 million businesses and 136 million households.

BIG training takes place every Friday from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. To reserve your spot in an upcoming training, call 563.327.0160 or email reception@newventuresinc.com.
