Who it is for

Suppliers who win by arriving first.

A new bar, café or shop chooses its till, its wholesaler, its insurer and its fit-out in the weeks before it opens.

  • EPOS and card payments
  • Drinks and food wholesale
  • Insurance and accountancy
  • Commercial kitchens and refrigeration
  • Shopfitting, flooring and signage
  • Furniture, security and waste

How it works

Four steps, every week.

Sources, method and what we leave out
  1. 01

    We read the registers

    Every venue that sells alcohol, puts on entertainment or serves food late must apply to its council for a premises licence. We read the council registers and the statutory notices every week.

  2. 02

    We find the company behind it

    Each applicant is matched to Companies House: when the company was formed, where it is registered, and whether it is a new operator, a chain or a landlord.

  3. 03

    We tell you what it means

    Every record gets a signal tier, the things the venue is likely to need and a plain-English note. New companies registered at the premises go to the top.

  4. 04

    You get it on Monday

    A web list, spreadsheet and PDF every Monday morning, filtered to your councils, while the venue is still choosing suppliers.

What a record looks like
