Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

What do I get for £14.99?

A full site assessment for one UK postcode and business type: an overall score, named competitors with distances and ratings, footfall patterns, catchment demographics, crime, planning and environmental risks, rent from VOA rateable values, a revenue and profitability forecast, and a written recommendation. See a sample.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay £14.99 per report and that's it. Buy one, or up to ten at once. Credits never expire.

How long does a report take?

Usually two to four minutes. You can leave the page and find it in your history when it's ready.

Where does the data come from?

Official and public sources: the VOA rating list, ONS census and deprivation data, police.uk crime data, Land Registry, gov.uk planning and flood data, and Google Places for nearby businesses and busy times. The written analysis is produced with AI from that data. How it works.

How accurate is the revenue forecast?

It's a model based on the business type, size, competition, footfall and local demographics, so treat it as a well-informed estimate rather than a guarantee. If you already run stores, you can add their sales figures to calibrate it to your business.

What if a report fails?

If a report can't be completed, your credit is returned automatically so you can try again.

I'm an agent. Can I brand reports for clients?

Yes. Join the free partner programme and every report carries your logo and contact details. You pay £7.50 a report and earn 50% commission on everyone you refer.
