Decision-grade data gives you a complete, current, and reliable view to find, screen, and track companies across the markets you compete in.
Unannounced deals
See the deals nobody announced
Acquisitions and fundraisings picked up from filings rather than press releases — including the competitor bolt-ons and private rounds that never reach a news feed. Set a watchlist on your market and get told, instead of finding out.
Current ownership
Know who owns it, and who owns it now
Current shareholders, persons with significant control and full group structure through holding companies, across the UK and Germany. Check the register before the approach rather than after it lands with the wrong person.
Live contacts
Contacts that don’t quietly rot
Verified, refreshed contact and key-people data alongside the company record, so outreach starts from something maintained rather than from a CRM entry nobody has confirmed in two years.
Common challenges faced by corporate development and strategy teams
Corporate development is often a single headcount carrying a board-level inorganic growth target. The pipeline is whatever the brokers bring and whoever you already know — and no one person can be that well connected across a whole market.
A competitor quietly buys a small specialist, or forms a teaming arrangement that changes the shape of a bid. Nothing is published, so you find out by accident months later, if at all.
Shareholders sell down, retire, or restructure behind a holding company that defeats an ultimate-parent filter. You prepare an approach against a register that was accurate last year and reach the wrong person.
A balance sheet with no profit and loss, headcount that most companies never publish, and a business spread across dozens of legal entities. Sizing a foreign target properly means days of work before you know whether it is worth a conversation.
Contact records decay quietly, and nothing tells you. Six weeks of follow-ups to someone who left two months ago is the normal failure — and on an account nobody has touched recently, the whole record is suspect.
Filter down and you still have thousands of names; filter harder and you are reconciling a few hundred rows in a spreadsheet. Either way you carry a list into a board conversation that you cannot fully vouch for.
Help your team uncover innovation trends, identify targets fast, and publish thought leadership with confidence.
