Chambers of commerce and trade bodies hand you a directory of their members, which is not the same as the market.
A single distributor ends up being your only view of a country, so their version of the market becomes the only one you hear.
Desk research on an unfamiliar country consumes weeks and produces estimates rather than named companies.
Market reports tell you the sector is worth some number, but never who to call on Monday.
Search, look at five free samples, pay once, download the workbook. No account, no subscription, no sales call in between.
Pick the market you are weighing up and the category of business that buys your product there.
Five sample businesses arrive free, which is usually enough to tell whether the category translates in that country.
One payment. No local entity, no account, no recurring cost while you decide.
The market intelligence report covers how that sector is structured in the country you searched.
Work the list directly, or use it to judge whether a distributor is offering you real coverage.
What this replaces
A list of named businesses with contact details is a different thing from a market-size figure. Provendor gives you the former, alongside a report on the sector — it does not give you a country strategy.
Search by country and category in the search itself — the preview will show you immediately whether that combination returns businesses. Nothing is charged until you have seen the samples.
It is a reasonable sanity check. If a distributor says they reach the market and the list shows several hundred businesses in that category, you have a concrete basis for the conversation.
Records come as they are listed, so names and descriptions reflect how the business presents itself locally. Emails, phone numbers and websites are as published.
No. The report covers the commercial shape of the sector you searched. Regulatory, customs and certification questions sit outside what it does.
Yes — each search is one category in one location. Comparing three countries means three searches, each with its own free preview first.
No. You pay per list. That suits market evaluation, where you may buy two lists this month and none again for a year.
Teams choose Provendor as their export market business list by country, international B2B contact list tool, market entry prospect research list, overseas buyer and distributor list source.
The five sample businesses are free. You only pay if you want the rest of the list.
