What The Business Research Company does

The Business Research Company is a privately held market research and consulting firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in London, with additional offices in Media (Pennsylvania), Hyderabad, Kawasaki City, and Shanghai. The firm sells syndicated market research reports, customized research engagements, and subscription access to its proprietary Global Market Model database to enterprise, consulting, academic, financial services, and legal clients worldwide.

Its core product is the Global Market Model (GMM), a market intelligence platform containing 1,500,000+ datasets and 5,000+ reports covering 30,000+ markets across 27 industries and 60+ geographies, with multi-level segmentation (up to six levels) and forecast horizons extending to 2035. The company supplements GMM with standardized single-report sales priced at $4,490 each, bespoke custom research engagements, continuous research services including senior executive interviews and consumer research, and an AI-Empowered Research Services layer that applies artificial intelligence to desk research, market sizing, forecasting, web crawling, analytics, and data visualization.

The business model combines transactional revenue from individually priced reports, recurring subscription revenue from GMM access (priced by tiered use cases such as consultancies, corporate planning, academic, financial services, and legal services), and professional services revenue from multi-year custom research contracts. Distribution is primarily direct through the company website and a regional sales footprint, supported by SEO-driven content marketing, point-of-view articles, and earned media citations in outlets such as Forbes, Vogue, Nikkei, KPMG, PwC Spain, and Capgemini. The firm does not disclose revenue or external funding and is independently owned under the legal entity TBRC The Business Research Private Ltd.
