# Active Family Offices Alternative (2026): Two One-Time Files Compared

By Muhammad Tayyab Shabbir. Last updated 10 Nov 2026. Data as of November 2026.

## Quick answer

Active Family Offices sells family office lists as one-time Excel files, by region and by segment.

([source](https://activefamilyoffices.com/products.json?limit=250), checked 10 Nov 2026.)
