Proactively engage businesses.
Strengthen place narratives.
Build targeted investment propositions.
Growth Flag helps investment teams move beyond broad, generic outreach and place narratives by focusing on businesses that show real signs of growth and expansion.
With information on every registered business in the UK, as well as details on global corporate linkages, Growth Flag provides a comprehensive picture of growth potential, risk, and business performance in places. This allows teams to target investment efforts with confidence and hold more engaging conversations in pursuit of local growth.
Growth Flag helps tailor propositions to real business needs by showing which sectors and specific businesses are growing locally. Our data provides insights on the strengths of different areas, and what could help places stand out from the crowd when seeking to attract investment.
Instead of broad marketing approaches, Growth Flag enables focused engagement with businesses already showing signs of growth or mobility, helping teams use limited resources more effectively.
By identifying existing businesses with growth potential, those that are foreign-owned, and those that are engaged in export activities, Growth Flag supports aftercare and account management activity that encourages firms to expand locally, helping retain jobs, investment and economic value in the area.
Growth Flag provides a continually updated view of the business landscape, helping teams maintain accurate investment pipelines, track progress, and evaluate impacts with confidence using consistent, transparent evidence.
