Site selection
Compare candidate locations for a new shop, office, depot or venue using data about the people, property and activity around each one.
UK Business Counts & Business Demography
For B2B businesses, pick locations by the density of your customer type nearby rather than by consumer footfall.
Business Rates (Non-Domestic Rating List)
Compare candidate premises on rateable value and floor area, and work out the rates bill before you sign anything.
Census 2021 (England & Wales)
Match a candidate location to the population it would serve, so your format fits the neighbourhood before you sign a lease.
Street-Level Crime & Outcomes
Compare candidate locations on the crime mix that matters to you — shoplifting for retail, vehicle crime for depots, anti-social behaviour for hospitality.
English Indices of Deprivation (IMD)
Screen candidate locations against the profile of the surrounding population, so your format matches the neighbourhood before you sign a lease.
GP Practices & Registered Patients
Registered patient numbers by age are one of the better free proxies for the resident population around a location — including who they are, not just how many.
Population Estimates (mid-year)
Weigh candidate locations by the size and age make-up of the surrounding population — the base number every catchment estimate starts from.
Postcode Lookups & Boundaries (ONS)
Place your sites and your candidate locations into the same official geography that population, deprivation and business data use, so the comparison is honest.
Property Sales — Price Paid Data
Sold prices are the most honest signal of local affluence — use them to size and compare the areas you're considering.
Public Transport Stops (NaPTAN)
Count the stops within walking distance of each candidate site and see what kind they are — a location on twelve bus routes and one two streets from a station are different propositions.
Road Collisions & Casualties (STATS19)
Check the junction outside a candidate site before you commit: a location with a collision history is a different proposition for a depot, a forecourt or anywhere customers arrive by car.
Road Traffic Counts (AADF)
Compare candidate sites on the traffic actually passing them — and on the right traffic, since a trade counter wants vans and lorries where a coffee shop wants cars and pedestrians.
Schools & Pupils (School Census)
Schools are where the families are. Counting pupils within a radius tells you more about a residential catchment than population totals do — and it tells you their ages.
