A manual guide to enriching a company

To enrich Company data manually, one must follow a tedious, time-consuming process that requires significant effort and resources.

1. Identify the data needed: Determine the specific data you want to collect about the Company.
2. Research sources: Find reliable sources, such as company websites, social media profiles, and industry reports, to gather the required information.
