NewcoSignal vs Market Location

Market Location is a long-established B2B data supplier. Its specialist datasets include Brand New Business, covering new businesses, start-ups, relocations, new branches and new business owners in your area. Its data is telephone-researched and described as GDPR and PECR compliant, covering about 1.7 million active businesses. Pricing is quote-led. Its G-Cloud 14 listing shows Brand New Businesses data at £1,600 per 1,000 records for 12-month multiple use, with 30% off if you take all the records.

That is a different kind of product from NewcoSignal, and the comparison is worth stating fairly. A telephone-researched record has been checked by a person, and the dataset reaches beyond newly incorporated companies to relocations and new branches. If you need that breadth and verified telephone data, and you buy through a procurement route that suits annual licences, Market Location is built for you.

NewcoSignal is built on the Companies House register, so it covers newly incorporated companies and nothing outside that register. In exchange, it is self-serve and priced openly. One-off lists are 10p per company + VAT with a £10 minimum and no subscription, and the free plan includes unlimited company search and one saved search with a daily email of the top 5 new matches. Compared at face value that is far less per record, but the records are not telephone-researched and we do not claim phone numbers for new companies.

What you do get is timing and fields that exist at incorporation: a registered address for around 99.98% of new companies and a named director for around 99%, with formation-agent addresses and likely shells filtered out and a reachable-by-post filter. Pro at £39 per month + VAT, or £348 a year + VAT, delivers every match, up to 625 new companies a week, with 10 saved searches and instant, daily or weekly alerts (instant means hourly delivery of daily data, not real time).

Many buyers use both kinds of source: a quote-led, verified dataset for a planned telemarketing campaign, and a daily feed to spot new companies as they register. If you are testing the market for new-company outreach, starting with a free NewcoSignal plan costs nothing and tells you whether the volume in your sector and region is worth a larger licence.
