• Headquarters linkages and corporate “family tree”


• Industry classification (NAICS to 6‑digit)


• Employment and sales, including growth indicators


• Indicators such as foreign‑owned, minority‑owned, women‑owned, import/export, and government contracts flags


• Move/relocation history with origin/destination FIPS


• Availability in tab‑delimited ASCII and SQL Server formats


• Vendor‑provided technical assistance for the duration of the license


• Two‑year license period
