1 in 4 companies is not located where you think they are 👀

That's why today we have expanded our coverage of head office data by just shy of 10x 📈

Previously, we could only locate these companies using the address they registered at Companies House. However, this registered address can sometimes be misleading as it is often registered at an accountant’s or some other location that isn’t the company’s main base of operations.

This is commonplace, with 1 in 4 companies having a different registered and head office address.

We know how important accurate head office data has been over companies that hit a Beauhurst trigger, so we wanted to bring this to companies of all types and sizes across the UK.

With better location data, you can:

🎯 Target sales and outreach efforts more accurately

🔍 Better identify business clusters that might need your support or services

📊 More accurately monitor regional trends


The best part? For subscribers who have access to our All Company Data add-on, this expansion is included in your existing subscription and feeds into all new and existing searches without you needing to lift a finger.

Patents Data Uncovered on 29k+ Companies

Discover the power of patents with our latest platform add-on.

Identify which companies are developing unique innovative technologies, find the industries that are pushing innovation, and see how effectively (or ineffectively) companies are protecting their intellectual property.

With the ability to search over and view 165k granted patents on 29K companies. All reliably sourced from the European Patent Office. You’ll be light years ahead.

Who is winning the race to protect their intellectual property?

Whether you care about 32 companies that have been granted UK patents related to solar technology, or the 15,545 companies that have filed patents in the United States, our search tools will help you to discover companies that are winning or losing the race to attain patent protection.

Reveal what a company is really doing

The patents filed by a company expose the technologies that a company cares about so much, that they are willing to commit significant time and money in order to prevent others from commercially benefitting from them.

Use patent titles to peer into a company's inner workings, their future plans, and discover companies working on technologies you care about.

Uncover international ambitions

See which countries a company has secured patent protection in and understand their commercial ambitions long before they are actively operating in those countries.

Discover companies at risk

Companies operating in innovative industries with zero or partial patent protection are not fully benefitting from their intellectual property, whilst leaving territorial gaps for others to commercially exploit their innovations. 

Can't live without patent data any longer, reach out to your account manager today.

Discover companies across 25 new buzzwords including Autonomous Vehicles, Cloud Computing, Femtech and Synthetic Biology

Today we are adding 25 new buzzwords to the platform to make it easier for you to track and understand trends across a variety of industries including consumer goods & services, agriculture, B2B services, construction and many more.

Buzzwords are our way of identifying and tracking interesting trends that don’t fit into a normal sector classification such as those sitting at the intersection of two sectors (e.g. Agritech), a similar common theme spanning multiple sectors (e.g. Gig Economy or FemTech) or exciting and emerging trends within a sector (Cloud computing). We will keep adding new buzzwords as new trends emerge.

There may even be some new company rankings on the cards… Stay tuned!

These can be used along side our existing 50 buzzwords across all our tracked companies in search to find the most relevant companies and are displayed on each company’s profile page.

Here is the full list of buzzwords we have added today:

  • ActiveTech
  • AgeTech
  • AgriTech
  • AssistiveTech
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Cloud computing
  • CollabTech
  • ConTech
  • EventTech
  • FemTech
  • FoodTech
  • Franchise
  • Geospatial technology
  • HRTech
  • Image and voice recognition
  • Immersive and promenade theatre
  • Intelligent mobility
  • MarTech
  • Organic goods
  • Point-of-Sale (PoS)
  • SexTech
  • Smart cities
  • Smart energy
  • Synthetic biology
  • Vegan/vegetarian

Find Criteria Faster in Advanced Search 🏃💨

It’s now easier than ever to find the criteria you’re looking for to build your Advanced Search query! 

Criteria have now been grouped and ordered under new headings so it’s easier to find and remember where your most important criteria sit.

“Sectors” and “Buzzwords” for example, now sit under “What the company does” and “Employee count” under “People”. Whereas Name and Location sit outside of a group at the top of the list, as they’re often your first criteria for starting a query. 

If you have any feedback please don't hesitate to get in touch, and don’t forget there’s a new search bar above the list if you want to jump straight to a criteria you have in mind.

🚀 Customise and Sort your Advanced Search Results

We've just released one of the most requested features to the platform!

We’ve been talking to lots of our customers about how we can help you get more out of search to find the companies you care about with more speed, clarity and confidence. Today we release our first version of customisable columns which should help you…

- Better understand your search results

Save time by viewing key financial and fundraising information on a company to understand if they are relevant before diving into their full profile.

- Focus on what matters

Remove and reorder columns so you can focus on only the most important information when reviewing your results.

- Find the most relevant companies by sorting

You can now order the results by all of our new data points so you can quickly prioritise your work to the most interesting companies first.

All of this means you can spend less time exporting and repeat-searching for the right results and more time acting on the data you know is valuable.
