The Business Database with Trade Activity, and the New Business Trigger Hotline - Businesses With Trade Activity, both from Dun & Bradstreet, are new-to-the-market prospecting tools for reaching new and small U.S. businesses. Each D&B database tracks the creation of trade lines - B2B lines of credit - as companies extend credit terms to young, small businesses, one of several telling triggers of business health and activity. Businesses with active trade lines tend to be better credit risks. The hotline takes the pulse of trade line change month to month. These files allow B2B direct mailers to select right-size, responsive prospects that are ready to be reached with timely offers of goods and services.
