Job ID: 40296054

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

Lead List Building — B2B SME Contacts
Multi-country · Multi-sector · Verified Emails · CSV Delivery


PROJECT OVERVIEW

I am building a targeted outbound email programme for a B2B financial advisory business. I need a clean, verified lead list of SME founders and owners across 6 countries and 8 industries, exported as a structured CSV file ready for import into an email automation platform (Make.com).

This is a data sourcing and research task only. I do not need email sequences, outreach, or any contact to be made with the prospects. I need clean, accurate data delivered to a specification.
EXACT TARGETING SPECIFICATION

Countries (all 6 required)
▸ United Kingdom
▸ Ireland
▸ Netherlands
▸ Indonesia
▸ Thailand
▸ Singapore

Industries (all 8 required)
▸ Biotechnology & Life Sciences
▸ Sport (clubs, academies, sports businesses)
▸ Leisure (fitness, wellness, hospitality)
▸ Construction & Property Development
▸ Real Estate (investment and management)
▸ Retail (physical and online)
▸ Food & Beverage
▸ SaaS & Technology

Contact Position (decision-maker only)
Include ONLY contacts with one of the following titles:

✓ CEO
✓ Owner
✓ Co-Founder
✓ Founder
✓ Managing Director
✓ Director (where the company has 1–2 directors only)

✗ EXCLUDE: Any company that has a person with one of the following titles currently employed or listed as a director: CFO, Chief Financial Officer, Finance Director, VP Finance, Head of Finance, Financial Controller, Finance Manager. Cross-reference LinkedIn before including any record.

DELIVERABLE — CSV FORMAT

Deliver one master CSV file with the following columns exactly as named below. No additional columns. No merged cells. One contact per row.

I am looking for approximately 100–150 contacts per country per sector where data is available. Total list size target: 3,000–5,000 verified contacts


NOTE ON ASIAN MARKETS: I understand that revenue data for Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore SMEs is estimated rather than publicly filed. Employee count and industry classification should be used as the primary filters in these markets. Please flag any records where revenue is estimated rather than sourced from a registry.

QUALITY & ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS

Email Accuracy
▸ Email bounce rate must be below 5% on delivery — I will test with NeverBounce or ZeroBounce before sending
▸ Business domain emails only — no Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or other free email providers
▸ Mark any catch-all domains clearly in the email_verified column
▸ Do not include emails found via guessing patterns without verification

Data Source Requirements
▸ Acceptable sources: Apollo.io, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Snov.io, Lusha, Crunchbase, Companies House (UK), ACRA (Singapore), KVK (Netherlands), and equivalent official registries
▸ Every record must have a named source in the data_source column
▸ Do not use data scraped from personal social media profiles
▸ Do not use purchased bulk lists of unknown provenance

LinkedIn Cross-Reference (Mandatory)
For every contact, you must verify on LinkedIn that:

✓ The person is currently active at the company (not a former employee)
✓ The company does not have a CFO, Finance Director, or equivalent listed as a current employee or director
✓ The company is still active and trading
✗ Do not include contacts where the LinkedIn profile has not been active in more than 24 months
MANDATORY SAMPLE REQUIREMENT

Before proceeding with the full list, you must deliver a sample of 50 contacts from the following specific segment:

▸ Country: United Kingdom
▸ Industry: Construction
▸ All columns populated as specified above

I will review the sample within 48 hours and provide feedback before authorising the full list. Payment for the full project will only be released on acceptance of the full delivery.
GDPR & DATA COMPLIANCE

This list will be used for B2B cold email outreach. The following compliance requirements are non-negotiable:

✓ All data must be sourced from legitimate B2B databases or public business registries
✓ All contacts must be business email addresses at their place of work — not personal data
✓ You must confirm in writing that the data has been sourced in compliance with GDPR (for UK/Ireland/Netherlands contacts) and applicable local data laws
✗ Do not include any personal mobile numbers, personal home addresses, or data sourced from personal social media accounts

IMPORTANT: By accepting this project you confirm that all data provided has been sourced legally and ethically from B2B databases and public registries. I reserve the right to reject any records that cannot be verified as legitimately sourced.
WHAT YOUR BID MUST INCLUDE

I will only consider bids that include all of the following:

1. Your proposed tools/sources for each country (e.g. Apollo for UK, ACRA + LinkedIn for Singapore)
2. Your approach to excluding companies with an existing finance person
3. Your estimated email accuracy rate and how you verify
4. A sample of previous similar work — a screenshot or anonymised CSV showing the format and quality of a prior lead list project
5. Your timeline to deliver the full list once the sample is approved
6. Your fixed price or per-record price for the full delivery
