We’ve streamlined how you work with Advanced Search results on the platform.

Always-accessible actions

• ‘Export results to CSV’ and ‘Save results to a collection’ are now pinned in a sticky bar at the bottom of your results screen.
• You’ll also always see the total number of results right there for quick reference.

Save templates to get started quickly

Saved searches are now called templates, because they act as a reusable starting point for your frequent searches. Templates can be accessed from the header, at the top of the page.

Save as a collection to leverage the power of auto-add, activity alerts, and collaboration

As a reminder: Saving companies to a collection isn’t just a static list - it keeps working for you:

• 💡 Dynamic updates: As new companies match your saved criteria, they’ll be added automatically.
• ⏰ Timely activity alerts: Get notified when companies in your collection raise funding, change leadership, or other events you care about.
• 👀 Collaborative features: Keep all your lists in one place, ready to review or share with your colleagues so you can work together.

Create your tailored list

Run an Advanced Search to generate results you can keep leveraging over time.

Search like a human. Results like a pro.

We’re excited to introduce Natural Language Search in Advanced Search, making it easier and faster to find the companies that matter to you.

Now, instead of manually building complex filters, you can simply type what you're looking for in your own words. The builder will interpret your query and return a structured set of results.

This update is designed to make discovery faster, easier, and more intuitive - whether you’re a power user or just getting started.

• Faster discovery: Speed up early searches, going from idea to an initial set of results immediately.
• Reduce friction: No need to learn the filter structure before starting, just express your search in your own words.

💡 How does it work?

With Natural Language Search, you can now describe your ideal company in plain English. The builder will do the work of translating your request into relevant search criteria.

For example, you can try:

• “East Midlands companies in the life sciences industry”
• “Software companies with over 50 employees and 10% turnover growth”
• “Financial services companies that have raised funding in the past year”

We’ll return companies that match your criteria, which you can refine further using the Advanced Search builder.

✅ Fields currently supported

Natural Language Search currently supports phrases relating to:

• Location
• Industries and buzzwords
• Descriptive keywords
• Funding received - amount and date
• Financials, including turnover and EBITDA

…and more.

We’re now identifying around 75% more acquisitions every month — including much stronger coverage of PE buyouts.

What’s new?

1. Identify all acquisitions announced in the press — even if the company hasn’t hit another Signal
2. We continue to identify and track companies post-acquisition — we’ve lifted our general “ceased tracking” rule
3. Backfilled timelines — we’ve added historic acquisitions for previously ceased tracking companies

Why it matters

Acquisitions are powerful triggers. More coverage means you can:

• Find companies undergoing strategic change.
• Find people making pivotal career moves.
• Win opportunities at exactly the right moment.
• Monitor portfolios for exits or buy-side trends.
• Report impact through successful M&A and PE Buyout activity

We’re not just adding more acquisitions — we’re combining them with rich company data to help you move faster, spot opportunities, and stay ahead.

Get started

A wrecking ball to the world economy or simply the art of the deal? As policies change on a dime and markets still far from recovering from their whiplash, it’s worth noting US tariffs on the UK aren’t part of the 90 day pause, meaning 10% tariffs on all goods, and 25% on steel, aluminium, automobiles, and soon to be automobile parts are still in effect.

Many of our customers work with exporting firms whether its supporting, advising, or investing in them so we wanted to make it as easy as possible to find companies that might be at risk of these policies, letting you intervene fast!

To help, we have implemented a new metric on companies financial statements: Exports Turnover Ratio.

Calculated using turnover and export levels for companies that report it.

Find this new ratio on company profiles in the financials tab, or use our new and improved Advanced Search to find a list of businesses with this ratio.

Around ~1,900 companies attribute 90% or more of their turnover to exports in their latest financials. (Explore the data)

NB: Financial reporting does not specify which country the exports are going to but this still provides an excellent filter to find those most likely to be affected.

You can also blend this with all of our other data to dive into how this might affect the industry, region, personal collection, etc that matters to you.

Here is an example of those in the automotive industry with 90%+ Export Turnover Exposure

If you have other ideas about how we can help find and support exporting companies, I would love to hear from you.
