Strategic searching for business development

We make creating strategic searches easy. You can combine as many search steps as you would like to find companies with very specific profiles, so, you can find companies:

  • with consistent growth rates
  • with new owners
  • that are private equity backed and likely to have expansion plans
  • with slowing growth or negative growth
  • that deliver very specific services or products

You can also use Boolean logic to create 'and'/'or' searches. 

And once you’ve identified a group of companies by your chosen profiles you can set alerts to see when new companies join your group.

Get sales triggers via sophisticated alerts

Our products will watch sets of companies for you and alert you to changes that may create, or remove, an opportunity for you. These include:

    • new financials filed
    • a change in management
    • a change in ownership or rumor of M&A activity
    • news about a company – you can filter for just negative news
    • a change in a company’s financial strength – positive or negative
    • an office move
    • a change of status (active/inactive/rescue plan etc)
    • that a company now fulfils, or no longer fulfils, a profile you’ve created
