What does this tool do?

The Business Finder helps you find local businesses or social services that might be able to assist you after a disaster. It searches a database of nearly 12 million U.S. businesses.

How do I get started?

Enter a business name, a type of service, an industry, or an occupation.

If you see what you're looking for pop up below the search box, select it and click "Search." If you prefer, type your entire term and click "Search."

What can I do with these results?

Your results page provides a list of all businesses or organizations that are related to your search term. Some search terms will generate very long lists. From the search results page, you have several options:

  • To narrow your results, use the filters located to the left on your screen. Click "More" or "Less" at the bottom of the list to manage the number of filter options that are shown.
  • To focus your search on a specific phrase, put quotes around the phrase, for example "Smith Electric" or "animal hospitals".
  • To get more details about a business, click the name of the business.
  • To start over with a new search term, click the blue "New Search" button on the top left side of the page.
  • You can download and save your list of businesses in Excel, PDF, Word, or RTF using the "Download" button at the bottom of your results list.
