Find the right businesses. Connect with the right people.
KnowFirst is business and contact intelligence built for Australia and New Zealand. Search more than 3 million businesses and 12 million people, understand what is changing inside the companies you care about, unlock contact details and build lists ready for your next campaign.
Find your market
Search millions of businesses and people in seconds.
Start broad and narrow your search using detailed filters including industry, location, company size, keywords and more. Whether you are looking for construction companies in Brisbane, manufacturers across Victoria or decision makers within a specific industry, KnowFirst turns a market into a searchable list.
Searching and browsing are free, so you can explore before deciding which records are worth unlocking.
Know more about every business
Go beyond a name, address and phone number.
KnowFirst brings information from across public records and the open web together into detailed company profiles. Instead of researching a business across a dozen different sources, start with one profile.
Find the people behind the business
Turn company research into real opportunities.
Discover the people working inside the organisations you find. Search by role, company, industry, location and other criteria, then unlock contact information for the people you actually want to reach. Once a record is unlocked, KnowFirst remembers it wherever you see it again.
See what is changing
Business intelligence should tell you what is happening now.
Businesses do not stand still, and neither should your data. The KnowFirst Feed brings together recent signals such as website changes, news mentions, new roles and other detected business activity, giving you context beyond a static company record.
