ExitLeads

UK Acquisition Intelligence

Find businesses beforethey're for sale.

ExitLeads scores 1.8 million UK companies for succession risk — surfacing acquisition targets before they reach brokers, marketplaces, or any other buyer.

The problem with finding businesses to buy

By the time a business appears on Daltons or BusinessesForSale, it's already too late. The price reflects months of preparation. Three other buyers are already in due diligence. The owner's been coached to hold firm.

The best acquisitions happen before all of that. When the owner hasn't listed yet. When you're the only one who's called. When the price is still a conversation, not a brochure figure.

The question is: how do you find those businesses?

How it works

1

We score the database

Every month we pull fresh data from Companies House and score 1.8 million UK companies for succession risk signals — director age, business age, sole ownership, financial health.

2

You filter for exactly what you want

Search by sector, region, director age, company size, SIC code and more. Narrow 1.8 million companies down to the ones that match your acquisition criteria.
