What is a Business Panel?
In shortA business panel is a community of verified professionals who have agreed to take part in research and shared details about their role, company and industry.
It lets research teams reach the right B2B respondents quickly instead of recruiting from scratch for every study.
What types of business professionals can you recruit?
Our business panel includes 2.85M+ verified business professionals, including decision-makers, influencers, key stakeholders, C-suite professionals, senior managers, SME owners, function-specific professionals and IT and technology decision-makers.
Can I target respondents by industry and job role?
Yes. Industry, job role, department and seniority are core profiling attributes, and they can be combined with company attributes such as employee size, revenue and organization type.
Can Business Panel research target senior decision-makers?
In shortYes. The panel includes C-suite professionals and senior managers.
Because senior audiences are harder to reach, we confirm feasibility for your specific criteria and markets before fieldwork starts.
What company-level attributes can be used for B2B targeting?
Industry, sector, employee size, company revenue, organization type and company location, alongside market-level attributes such as country and region.
Which markets can you cover?
In shortWe run B2B research across 55+ markets.
Share your target countries and we will confirm coverage and feasibility for each one.
How do you maintain Business Panel data quality?
Depending on study requirements, we apply identity and access checks such as CAPTCHA and security questions, fraud prevention such as duplicate, bot and TOR detection, and research-quality checks such as screening filters, open-end reviews and red-herring questions.
How quickly can you assess B2B sample feasibility?
In shortFor most studies we share feasibility and a cost estimate within one working day.
Complex or very senior audiences can take a little longer because we check real availability first.
