Get to a new site before it needs its line
A business line can take weeks to install, so a new site has to order before it opens. We tell you which sites are coming.
Why timing matters
A business that orders its connectivity late opens without it, so the decision gets made early, often by whoever is fitting the place out. Businesses that change hands usually re-contract as well, because the old account was in the last operator's name. We add Ofcom's published broadband coverage for the postcode, so you can see what's available before you call.
What we tell you
The moments that matter for you:
| Coming | A business is about to open: a licence applied for, a unit being fitted out, a new company set up to trade from the address. |
| Just moved in | A business has started at premises that had nobody in them: a new ratepayer, a new food business, a newly registered care home, nursery, surgery or garage. |
| Changed hands | A new operator at premises that were already trading: a pub, shop or care home under new ownership, often keeping the old name on the door. |
How to use it
Ring the sites that are coming first, then the ones that moved in this week.
Last week in numbers
In the daily files from 14 to 20 October 2026, businesses that took on premises, changed hands or were about to, graded A or B for a telecoms desk: 200 across Great Britain, 76 of them opening or about to and 124 just moved in or under a new owner. 175 came with a landline to ring. 32% of them could not have been flagged by a service working from Companies House alone: the premises isn't the registered office, or nothing new was on the register.

Coverage
The national registers cover every council in Great Britain. On top of those, 35 councils publish a business rates list we can use and 10 a licensing register (as of 25 September 2026), and we add councils as they give permission. Northern Ireland isn't in the file yet. Where the data comes from.
Built for selling within the rules: businesses not people, every row with its source and date, and nothing your team can't explain to someone who asks. How it's done.

Questions
Do you know which provider they use now?
No. That isn't public. We tell you the site, the business and what's happening there.
How is this different from buying a list?
A list is a snapshot of businesses that exist. This is what changed yesterday: who moved in, who took over, who left. A bought list can't tell you any of that, and it's out of date the day it arrives.
How do you find them?
From public registers, read every day and kept, so we can see when something changes at an address. The sources are on the sources page. How we put them together is ours, and we don't publish it.
Is there personal data in it?
Almost none. The file is about businesses and premises: no director names, no home addresses. Where a business publishes only a named address on its own website, the daily file carries it in a marked column, as the privacy notice says; a sample never does. Where a phone number or a mailbox is public, we say where it came from.
Can we email or ring them?
Limited companies and LLPs can be emailed without prior consent under PECR, if you say who you are and give a way to opt out. Phone numbers are yours to screen against the TPS and CTPS before you ring.
What does it cost?
£250 a month for a region, or £1,000 a month for the whole of Great Britain, monthly, and you can stop at any month's end. The first two weeks are free, so your team can try it on real rows before paying anything.
