Understand and monitor trends.
Effectively target programmes.
Adapt support and enhance outcomes.
Growth Flag helps programme teams move beyond broad eligibility criteria and towards precision targeting, ensuring business support reaches those firms where it can make the greatest difference.
From sector and location strategy to frontline delivery, Growth Flag data helps transform business support and engagement programmes. Easily identify and analyse businesses that share similar growth, resilience or development characteristics, and monitor cohorts of interest.
Understand how businesses are actually operating and changing, allowing programmes to be designed around genuine challenges and opportunities rather than assumptions based on sector or size alone.
Using Growth Flag's unique growth potential and risk algorithms, identify businesses that are most likely to benefit from support, whether they are preparing to grow, facing pressures, or adapting their business model. This improves uptake and relevance while reducing mis-targeted support.
Focus resources on businesses that need support to progress, and those that can have the greatest impact within the local context. This helps demonstrate impact, accountability and better use of public funding.
Use the latest business intelligence to monitor business performance and changes, understand how economic conditions are shifting, and adjust programmes accordingly. This allows support to remain timely, flexible and responsive as markets evolve.
