Each company is scored on business longevity, Companies House registry data, and local market fragmentation to rank acquisition readiness. Build a free thesis to see ranked targets.
Every company comes from the UK Companies House register, giving incorporation dates and registered status, plus OpenStreetMap establishment density. Scouly scores each business 0 to 100 on operating longevity and local market fragmentation. No scraped private data, and no broker listings.
Not publicly, and that is the point. These are off-market companies whose public signals suggest durability and succession potential: decades on the register and a fragmented local market with no consolidator. Buyers who reach an owner before a listing exists avoid the competitive auction that follows a broker listing. Scouly drafts the outreach; you send it under your own name.
1,380 as of the latest Companies House ingest, each with an itemized 0 to 100 target score. Coverage grows as new registry records are processed, and every profile links to the underlying records behind its score.
