Creating a Company List Using Nexis Uni

To search for companies in a specific geographic location:

  • Select "companies" from the options at the top of the screen.
  • Scroll down the page
  • Click on Create a Company List
  • At the bottom of the page, enter the country, state, city and/or zip code of your desired geographic area and click Create.

TIP: The database will not process more than 100,000 results; therefore, you'll need to narrow your search if you're interested in an city like Chicago or New York City. Try searching by zip code. (You can always do multiple searches and then combine your results offline.)

  • Choose your preferred method of sorting your list (by company type, alphabetically by company name, etc.) and select what information you'd like to be included in your list.
  • Download your list as an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file.
