Office closing

Description

An Office Closing event tracks when a company shuts down a physical office or facility. This data provides insights into business downsizing, market exits, and shifts in operational strategy.

Important: The Office Closing event is available only for recent office closures that occurred within the last quarter (timestamp_from should be set to the past 3 months). If no office closure was recorded during this period, no data will be returned.

For long-term office location history, refer to the Firmographic Enrichment API.

Use cases

Market Contraction Analysis: Identify industries or regions where businesses are downsizing.
Competitive Intelligence: Track competitor office closures to understand their market shifts.
Economic Indicators: Assess the impact of office closures on local economies and employment.
Operational Strategy: Monitor company restructuring and realignment decisions.
