Best databases to search for businesses?

I'm having a tough time finding target businesses in a specific sector. Does anyone know a good database that I can use (preferably for free or likely provided by a college) to search for businesses? Specific searches based on SIC code and revenue are a plus.

I'm a little new to this so thanks for the help.
