Succession Radar reads the public register the way a buyer does — who controls the company, how old they are, and whether anyone is standing behind them. Filter a region and a sector, and get the businesses where the ownership is running out of road.
Three results free, so you can see the shape of it. No card until you want the full list.
A 68-year-old sole owner and a 68-year-old owner with a young management team need completely different conversations. The product separates them rather than dumping both into a spreadsheet.
Nobody younger on the register. One decision-maker, no visible successor. The cleanest signal and usually the shortest route to a straight acquisition.
Older owners hold more than half. A junior team already exists but almost certainly can't fund a buyout. Your opening is financing the deal, not replacing the people.
Several older holders, no majority. Harder — every party has to agree — but retirements tend to arrive together, which makes the timing real.
Everything here is public record. The work is in reading it properly — particularly the part Companies House doesn't expose as data.
Built from the bulk register by postcode area, so nothing is missed because a town name wasn't in the search box.
Ages from published month-and-year dates of birth. Always shown as approximate, because the day is withheld by law.
Read from the filed confirmation statement, which carries real percentages rather than the 25–50% bands in the PSC register.
Press on the shortlisted companies, so you know about the award, the expansion or the county court judgment before you write.
Cohorts rebuild nightly. Cancel from the billing portal whenever you like.
Names, approximate dates of birth and registered addresses come from the public register, but they still describe real people. Succession Radar operates under a documented legitimate interests assessment, publishes an Article 14 privacy notice, and keeps a suppression list.
If your details appear here and you don't want them to, ask us to remove them. Suppression applies across every customer's view, immediately.
