Why

Many owners who sell never put up a sign.

The owners worth talking to early are the ones who have run the company for 25 years, are past 60, and have no one lined up to take over. Companies House already records most of this. You could piece it together company by company. This list does it for a whole sector and region in one go.

Today

  • You hear about a sale when it's listed, at the same time as every other buyer and broker in the region
  • Finding owners earlier means searching the register one company at a time

What the register already shows

  • The month and year of birth of every director and owner
  • When each director was appointed, and who has left
  • The last balance sheet, and whether accounts were filed late
How it works

01

A trade, by SIC code or in plain words, and a county or postcode area.

  • Include phone numbers or personal email addresses.
Need the whole UK for one sector?

New companies join the list every month as owners pass 60. If you would want that as a monthly update, tell Adam when you write.
