Acquisition assessment Strong succession-risk profile drives the score. The 71-year-old sole director incorporated in 1994 has no other active appointments and no named successor in filings. Growing revenue with a clean balance sheet removes financial risk. Web presence confirmed, no insolvency proceedings or outstanding charges. Risk factor: sole-director key-person dependency gives negotiating leverage on price. Recommend approach via accountant or direct letter ahead of any formal process.
From register to ranked list

Four stages from raw data
to acquisition pipeline.

A fully automated pipeline. You configure the criteria — geography, sector, company size, age, and scoring strategy. ProspectMap does the rest.

01

Filter

Define your target universe from the full UK company register. Filter by geography, sector, company size, age, and filing health to focus only on businesses that meet your criteria.

02

Enrich

Automatically gather deep intelligence on each company: director profiles, ownership structure, insolvency history, outstanding debt, filing records, and financial figures from official filings.

03

Discover

Find and verify each company's online presence — website, social media profiles, and recent press coverage — so you arrive at every conversation fully briefed.

04

Score

AI scores every company against your acquisition strategy. Choose from seven scoring modes and the weights adapt to what matters for your buyer thesis.

What ProspectMap looks for

Public signals,
assembled automatically.

No generic databases. Every signal is assembled fresh from authoritative public sources for each prospect on your list.

Succession risk

Director age, tenure length, sole-director flag, and absence of an obvious successor. A 68-year-old who founded the business and hasn't resigned anyone in 20 years is a motivated seller who doesn't know it yet. The most distinctive signal in the ProspectMap pipeline — invisible in any off-the-shelf data product.

Director network

Every director's full appointment history across the UK register. Are they serial entrepreneurs with other active roles? Network mapping reveals ownership intent and exit likelihood.

Financial signals

Turnover, net assets, profit/loss — extracted from official filings with prior-year comparatives so growth and decline are scored, not guessed.

Risk flags

Insolvency history, liquidation flags, outstanding charges, lender names, overdue filings — surfaced automatically.

Web & social

Verified company website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter — from the company's own pages, not directory listings.

News & reputation

Recent press mentions with headlines and dates — contract wins, disputes, and market activity before you pick up the phone.

Buyer-configured scoring

Seven acquisition strategies, one engine.

Every buyer has a different thesis. Set your scoring mode once and ProspectMap weights every signal to match your strategy.

Bolt-on and roll-up modes support a configurable buyer profile so targets are scored against your specific sector, geography, and size criteria.

Succession-led
Succession-led acquisition
Owner-managed businesses approaching a natural exit. Director age, sole-director status, and long tenure are primary signals — finding the motivated seller before they know they're selling.
Primary weight: Succession risk 35%
Bolt-on
Bolt-on acquisition
Businesses with revenue, customers, and operational scale. Configurable against the acquirer's sector, geography, and size criteria.
Primary weight: Financial scale 40%
Distressed
Distressed & turnaround
Undervalued businesses with underlying revenue or assets. Surfaces Gazette winding-up petitions before they appear in Companies House records — the earliest acquisition window.
Primary weight: Underlying quality 35%
PE & growth
PE & growth capital
Profit margin quality, management depth, scalability indicators, and a clean deal structure. A sole director approaching retirement is a key-person risk here, not an exit opportunity.
Primary weight: Financial performance 40%
Asset
Asset acquisition
Land Registry title ownership, charge particulars, and balance sheet quality as the decisive signals — for buyers who want the property, fleet, plant, or trading name.
Primary weight: Balance sheet quality 45%
Roll-up
Roll-up / buy-and-build
Acquiring many small, similar businesses in a fragmented sector. Modest size, simple structure, and a willing seller matter more than standalone scale.
Primary weight: Sector & size fit 35%
Owner-operator
Owner-operator / ETA
An individual buyer acquiring one business to run personally. Must be transferable, learnable, and cash-generative enough to service acquisition finance.
Primary weight: Transferability 30%
