SBA.GOV Scraper | $5 / 1k | US Small Business Directory

Overview

SBA.GOV Scraper captures structured business intelligence from the U.S. Small Business Administration's public directory. Each run compiles rich company profiles, certifications, locations, and contact context so you can evaluate vendors, partners, and competitors with confidence. The SBA directory is a trusted source for verified small businesses, making it ideal for compliance-sensitive sourcing and supplier diversity programs. This actor keeps the process fully automated, consistent, and fast—saving countless hours compared with manual lookups.

Why Use This Actor

• Market researchers & analysts gain quick visibility into niche suppliers, certifications, and operational footprints across the United States.
• Sales and partnership teams build qualified lead lists anchored in government-backed credentials and detailed capability statements.
• Developers & data teams enrich internal databases, power dashboards, and maintain up-to-date directories without manual effort.
• Procurement & supplier diversity leads monitor certifications like WOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), and more to ensure programs stay compliant.

Typical use cases include lead generation, market mapping, vendor vetting, directory building, compliance reporting, and monitoring certification status changes. Every dataset is deduplicated by listing, letting you focus on insights instead of cleanup.
