A continuous target-discovery loop

Not a static database. DealSignal keeps working after your first search.

Define your thesis

Describe what you want to acquire in plain English. DealSignal converts it into structured, editable criteria — sector, size, profitability, ownership profile, and more.

See every UK private company that matches, ranked by an explainable 0–100 DealSignal score with a full breakdown of why.

Get deal signals

DealSignal continuously monitors Companies House filings, financials, ownership and leadership. When something relevant changes, you hear about it.

Why Now — not just what exists

Most databases answer “what companies exist?” DealSignal answers “what should I look at, and why does it matter right now?” Every target comes with a plain-language explanation grounded in factual filings — never speculation about an owner's intent to sell.

  • Financial performance changes, calculated deterministically from filed accounts
  • Ownership, leadership and financing changes from PSC, officer and charge filings
  • Every signal traceable back to its source filing and date

Frequently asked questions

What data does DealSignal use?

DealSignal is built on official UK Companies House data — company filings, financial statements, officers, persons with significant control, and registered charges. We never scrape or redistribute data outside its permitted use.

How is the DealSignal score calculated?

The score is fully deterministic — calculated by code, not AI — from your Buy Box fit, financial quality, ownership and succession characteristics, corporate stability, and recent deal signals. Every point is explained and traceable to source data.

Does DealSignal tell me if a company wants to sell?

No. DealSignal surfaces factual changes — filings, financials, ownership, leadership — and explains why they may be relevant to your thesis. It never claims a company is for sale or that an owner intends to exit.

Is this only for UK companies?

Version one is deliberately focused on UK private companies, so the data quality and matching stay high. Additional jurisdictions are on the roadmap.
