Company research & contacts
03

Bring the important details together before you reach out. Public information helps you form a useful proposal; the conversation helps you confirm the need.

Research your next potential client ↗
01 / Services & projects

Understand what they deliver.

Explore the company’s services and published projects. Look for work that connects to your experience and the problems you help solve.

02 / Size & growth

Put the opportunity in context.

Review team size, expansion, and reported financial or investment signals where available. Check the sources; a growth signal is not a confirmed budget.

03 / People & contact

Find someone relevant to speak to.

Discover decision-makers, public LinkedIn profiles, and available contact emails. Choose a person or a company inbox for your introduction.

Before you begin

A few useful answers.

Who is Firmavelo for?

Firmavelo is for freelancers and independent consultants who want to find business clients. Use it to understand a potential client before introducing your services, whether you work in development, design, marketing, or consulting.

Can Firmavelo tell me which companies will hire me?

Research can help you spot a relevant opportunity, but it does not prove a company has a budget or needs freelance support. Use the evidence to ask better questions and qualify the opportunity in a conversation.

Where does the company information come from?

Firmavelo uses public registries, company websites, and public search results. Research includes source links so you can inspect the evidence and identify what still needs verification.

Will every company have a contact email or phone number?

No. Contact details are shown when they can be found in public sources. A published address or number does not guarantee that an inbox accepts mail or that a call will connect.

Does Firmavelo send messages for me?

You stay in control. Prepare and edit a draft in Firmavelo, then open your email app or LinkedIn to send it. Messages are not sent automatically.

How do credits work?

Fresh search requests use credits at the rate shown in your account. Viewing saved research and filtering companies use no credits. Credits are currently added by an administrator; self-service purchases are not available yet.

Do I have to research the same company again?

Company research is retained, so existing results can be reused. You can request fresh research when information needs updating rather than starting from scratch every time.
