UK Deal Origination & Company Intelligence Platform

USP Data helps corporate finance advisers, M&A teams, private equity investors and strategic acquirers identify acquisition targets, build buyer lists and uncover transaction opportunities across more than 5.5 million UK companies.

Using financial data, ownership intelligence, researched sector classifications and company monitoring tools, users can move from an acquisition brief to a qualified target list in minutes.

Whether you are sourcing acquisition opportunities, researching niche sectors or building strategic buyer lists, USP Data provides the intelligence needed to identify and monitor the right companies.

Most deal origination projects begin with a brief that defines sector focus, financial criteria, geography and ownership profile.

USP Data enables advisers and investors to import known companies, analyse sector classifications, expand into related markets, search 5.5 million UK companies and create refined acquisition target lists using financial, ownership and geographic filters.

Once a shortlist has been created, users can generate comparative analysis reports, export director and shareholder data, and monitor companies through the integrated CRM.

Unlike other solutions relying on SIC codes, we have conducted extensive research to classify companies accurately based on their actual activities. This ensures better quality market niches, saving you time and money on irrelevant prospects.

Beyond standard company screening, USP Data helps users identify businesses entering periods of strategic change.

Transaction opportunity indicators include:

• Shareholder age profiles
• Retirement-driven ownership structures
• Newly filed accounts
• Recent company filings
• Ownership changes
• Newly incorporated businesses entering target criteria

These indicators help advisers and investors focus their efforts on companies that may be more receptive to strategic discussions, investment or acquisition opportunities.
