PROSPECTOR

It finds UK businesses about to get rid of equipment — before they've rung round — and hands you the name, the place, a verified number, and what to say.

What it is

The hard part isn't the job — it's finding it

Most kit gets cleared reactively: a business finally picks up the phone, and by then the margin's thin and the choice is made. PROSPECTOR finds the firm at the moment the kit starts moving — ahead of the skip company, ahead of a competitor.

How it works

It watches the public record for the moment

Companies House, The Gazette, planning notices, local news, the schools register — quietly read every day for the events that mean a business is about to shed kit:

  • An office move — they leave kit behind. The biggest, most predictable source.
  • An IT refresh — old gear out, on a cycle you can time.
  • Downsizing, an owner retiring, a site winding down.
  • A budget cycle — schools and practices spend the yearly IT pot, then shed the old kit.
  • Early signs of money trouble — when the assets start to move.

For each one it builds a one-page file — who they are, where the site is, how big the premises likely is, a phone number checked against their own published details, and a ready-to-read script — then ranks the best to the top and refreshes every day.

What you'd get

A steady feed of leads you can actually call

Ranked, local, contact-ready leads in your patch — newest triggers first, each with a script. The play is always the same: offer to take the kit away — free collection, you clear their problem, the easy "yes". Your margin is reselling the good bits you cherry-pick out of the haul.

The bigger picture

Really, it's a change-detector for businesses

Under the bonnet, PROSPECTOR isn't a "find IT kit" tool — it's an engine that spots the moment a business changes: it moves, it grows, it shrinks, it refreshes, it changes hands, it starts to struggle. Clearing surplus kit is just the first thing we've pointed it at.

That same engine, aimed differently, is worth money to anyone who needs to reach a business at the right moment — the mover, the fit-out firm, the broker, the recruiter, the insolvency practitioner, the supplier chasing a contract. You point it; it hunts.

  • Your trigger. Tell us the event that means something in your world — a lease ending, a contract won, a grant about to be spent, a director stepping back — and we build it into the engine.
  • Your businesses. Name the sectors. We added every school in the region in an afternoon; yours is the same.
  • Your ground. Your areas, your radius, your idea of a worthwhile lead.

A fixed list goes stale the day it's printed. A change-detector you point at your own market doesn't.

The honest bits

What it does well — and what it doesn't, yet

  • Strongest today on IT and office kit, schools, and specialty retail; machinery and plant are thinner — we'll be straight about which of your sectors it serves well.
  • Contact details are verified or nothing — fewer leads, but the ones you get are real.
  • It's timing, not a static list — a firm only surfaces when something just happened that means kit is moving.
