I don't know but I'd like to know myself, I was always getting letters when I first started out offering me all sorts of new business help.... so someone has the information.

Or maybe target one area such as dentists, childcare and send a batch of letters out.

you could use something like this (but chances are the info is dirty) http://www.customlis...CFYUMfAodrT2I3A

Your best off buying into something like tls data or a similar company like that. That will only give you LTD company data though. Its worth nothing that the amount you spend on mailing these business you will more than likely only see a 5% return and thats if your lucky.

Get friendly with your local Business Link if you want to reach startups.
