Growth Flag
Growth Flag accurately identifies businesses with high growth potential, as well as those at risk, to guide investment and support decisions. It is the only dataset that provides a forward-looking growth score for every UK business that has been trading for a year or more, and is updated daily. Growth Flag allows users to easily access detailed insights on individual businesses and compare growth potential across regions and sectors.
We offer a bespoke service that provides additional insight and analysis using Growth Flag data alongside other evidence on your local business base to help inform strategy and local growth plans.
