If this data is as actionable as it seems don't piecemeal subscriptions, you will rob yourself long term by dealing with all the headaches of direct-to-consumer(ish) selling.

Revisions and accuracy on the data set and protecting that IP is where you're going to extract maximum value.

A good place to start calling would be Bloomberg - they have dialed in how to extract maximum profit out of business data.

They have a venture division that would be a perfect fit http://bloombergventures.com and can push you in the right direction if they pass.
