Choosing a Moneyhouse alternative for Swiss B2B prospecting
Prospex is a Moneyhouse alternative for finding Swiss companies that fit a B2B sales brief. Describe your target market, review the reasons behind each match and correct the list before outreach. If you need credit reports or contact data, Prospex does not provide either. Moneyhouse has products for company research and credit checks. Choose according to the work you need to do.
Which Moneyhouse alternative fits your task?
| Your task | Where to start | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Look up a registered Swiss company | Zefix | Use the official index for an individual company lookup. The Federal Office of Justice confirms that these lookups are free. |
| Assess a customer's creditworthiness | Moneyhouse credit information | Choose the report and query allowance that your assessment requires. Prospex has no credit data. |
| Find companies matching a commercial brief | Prospex Market Builder | Review company fit and missing evidence in the free preview. Source contacts separately. |
| Create a filtered prospect list with contact fields | business-monitor.ch Sales hunter | The advertised plan includes emails and phones, with 200 prospect exports a month. Check coverage for your target group. |
For the role of each register, read the Swiss company-data source comparison. For list building with business-monitor.ch, see our Business Monitor alternative guide.

To evaluate the targeting workflow, use a brief that reflects your actual buyers. For a supplier of factory quality software, a company's production activity and location may matter more than its broad sector. Check those details against the source before treating a result as a prospect. A match reason is an interpretation that you can review; it does not establish a buying need.
A real Swiss manufacturing example
Our public Market Builder example is a reviewed snapshot captured on . Its brief seeks Swiss manufacturers of machinery, precision components and medical or measurement instruments that produce in Switzerland and sell to other businesses. It covers Switzerland, using the 11–50 and 51–500 employee bands and B2B or mixed audiences. This market was built from its written definition, without example companies.
| Company in the snapshot | What the review established | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Trimos S.A., Renens | Produces dimensional measuring instruments. | Its activity matches the measurement-instrument part of the brief. Check whether your offer serves that production process. |
| Reiden Technik AG, Reiden | Manufactures machining centres in Switzerland. | It matches the machine-building requirement. Qualify the relevant site and purchasing role. |
| BG Concept Sàrl, Le Sentier | Produces micromechanical parts; the snapshot has no employee-size value. | Review its size separately if headcount is a hard sales constraint. |
| Arthrex Swiss AG, Belp | The review identified a distribution business and excluded it for wrong activity. | A medical-products business can fail a manufacturing brief. Record the reason for excluding it. |
The public example contains selected, reviewed rows. The original random check of ten Core companies found three misses and one borderline case. These observations concern that August snapshot; they are not a measurement of today's results or a comparison with Moneyhouse.
How to test your own market
The following is an illustrative workflow you can apply to your own sales brief. It has no claimed success rate or time saving.
- State the buying context. Describe what the companies sell and which part of their operations makes your offer relevant. Add existing customers if they represent the same need.
- Review the first ten companies. Open the available evidence. Record a clear fit, an exclusion or a question to resolve for each result.
- Correct recurring errors. If distributors enter a manufacturing market, clarify the required production activity. Keep unknown facts visible.
- Plan the handoff. After evaluating the preview, agree on paid access if you need exports or a market watch. Identify relevant people through your own contact sources.
What do the free and paid plans include?
A free Prospex account lets you build one market and see its first ten companies, plus the count of the rest, after confirming your email. No card is required. Market exports and a market watch require paid access. Paid access is arranged directly with design partners; the current offer has no published subscription price. Contact us to agree on access and export limits for your workflow.
Moneyhouse's free registered membership includes email follows for two companies or persons. Premium is offered for 6, 12 or 24 months, with automatic renewal for the selected term. Check the total price and the data products included when ordering. Its separate new-company Excel list is advertised at CHF 480 a year, excluding VAT, as checked on 6 September 2026. That list covers new incorporations, so it is a different purchase from a market of existing target companies.
When Moneyhouse is a better fit
Start with Moneyhouse when the decision requires credit information. Its company and person research is also relevant when you need to examine management connections and ownership. If its filters and monitoring already support your sales work, evaluate a Prospex preview against a specific gap in that workflow before changing tools.
