Web directory help

I am building a web directory of service businesses (i.e. Roofing, flooring, etc.)
My question is this... Is the company information public info? For example if i wanted to list john doe flooring would i need their permission or would i need them to submit to my directory before i can list them. Also are there any public databases available for use that are free to use. I am concerned with copyright infringement and i want to be clear on this issue before i move forward.

if u dev it as a web directory, then u need them to do the submission.

else u dev it as a classified/yellowpages kinda thing. then u likely can craw etc.
as u need to note that, likely most flooring company not even hav IT/website. so, for this case, u sure can add it. else, who going to add it instead.

put a contact/report abuse link. just in case the owner come to give you trouble.
