How to filter companies by headquarters location only (not branch locations)?

Hi everyone,

I'm building a list of companies headquartered in the province of Málaga, Spain, sorted by sales.

When I filter by State/Province = Malaga, Spain, I get companies whose headquarters are elsewhere. For example, Consum S Coop V (HQ in Silla, Valencia) and Semark AC Group SA (HQ in Cantabria). I assume they show up because they have branches or stores in Málaga.

My questions:

  1. Does the location filter apply to all locations in a corporate family, or only to the company's primary address? Is there a setting to apply it only to the headquarters / registered address?
  2. What is the right combination of the Parent / Subsidiary / Branch / Single Location filter to keep only companies whose decision headquarters is in Málaga?
  3. Is a postal code filter (29xxx) more reliable than the province filter for this?
  4. D&B.AI gave me a results list inside the chat, but I can't save it or turn it into a list. Is there a way to convert a D&B.AI answer into a saved search or a list?

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend using the HQ filter as part of your criteria to ensure you are locating the Headquarters location. You can also use the Entity Type to eliminate branch locations.

 

The postal code is a more complete regional search. Currently there is not a way to convert the results from D&B. AI into a list.
