Smart Targeting: Identifying family businesses

How did we find French family businesses on Mixdata? Nothing could be simpler with semantic search!

On Mixdata, in a few clicks you can identify every company that mentions one of the following phrases on its website: “entreprise familiale” (family business), “société familiale” (family company), “groupe familial” (family group), “actionnaires familiaux” (family shareholders), “de père en fils” (from father to son)… You can then round out the resulting list by searching for companies whose legal name contains one of the following: “et fils” (and sons), “& fils” (& sons), “frères” (brothers), “& filles” (& daughters).

Job done!

And if you then want to filter the resulting list by criteria such as turnover or geographic area, that too is just a click away.
