How to build this selection
Open the explorer with province South Holland already filled in, refine by city, postcode or category and export the companies you need as CSV. Free has 100 rows per UTC calendar month. Pro: €29 a month excluding VAT. Start with 5,000 rows, adding 2,500 each consecutive paid month, up to 25,000 per calendar month. Pro Year: €290 excluding VAT paid upfront, with 25,000 per calendar month from day one. CSV, REST and MCP share one allowance. Every CSV row counts; a company ID delivered through REST or MCP counts once per UTC calendar month. Pro exports allow at most 5,000 rows.

Once the selection is ready, outsourcing the cold email itself is an option: FlintLead, a sister brand, runs that campaign.
What these numbers are, and are not
Every count is an observed record in the FirmTrove database: companies that are not merged, purged or retired. It is not a census of all Dutch companies and not the trade register. The province is the derived operating region based on city or postcode; a company without that derivation is not on a province page. Categories are the literal labels the sources supply, so one company can appear under several. Cells below 25 records are not published.
