Customer Stories
Vista Capital Advisors, an M&A advisory firm, enhanced their market research efficiency by adopting Bizzy. This transition allowed them to streamline the creation of potential buyer lists and market studies, optimising their workflow and saving valuable time on their lead generation process.

The challenge
We interviewed Maxime Lampole, Associate at Vista Capital Advisors.
"Previously, our process for identifying potential buyers and conducting market studies was incredibly time-consuming. We relied on Google searches, company websites and the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) for information. However, this approach was inefficient and lacked a centralised database with effective filters. For example, finding all the bakers in Flanders through NBB wasn't always accurate or straightforward. This meant spending hours manually checking each result, verifying details and compiling lists, which was far from efficient."
The solution
"In our search for a more efficient way to compile market data, we found an ideal solution in Bizzy. This platform has centralised all the data we need, collecting it from various sources such as NBB, LinkedIn and company websites."
The impact
"Bizzy has made a big difference for us. We used to spend a lot of time searching for potential buyers, but now it's much easier and faster. With Bizzy, we can quickly find the right companies using simple filters, saving us time and effort. This means we can focus more on important tasks and talking to clients, which has led to some promising leads moving forward."
Their favourite Bizzy feature
"My favourite Bizzy feature is the ability to filter the database by industries and use the AI-powered website topic tool. This feature is the most effective and efficient way to create prospecting lists, enabling us to discover relevant companies quickly and accurately."
"Previously, finding the right companies was a daunting task, but with Bizzy, it has become straightforward and much more efficient."
Why they recommend Bizzy
"I would definitely recommend Bizzy. In our industry, several tools are available for building long lists, but they are often costly and designed for international markets. These tools are not always accurate for Belgium."
"Bizzy, on the other hand, excels at identifying companies within Belgium, making it far superior for our needs. For instance, if we need to find all IT service companies in Belgium, Bizzy provides comprehensive and accurate results that other lead generation tools can't match. This specificity and accuracy make Bizzy an invaluable resource for our market research and client services."
