For commercial finance brokers
Win the deals you would otherwise never hear about.
Patchlight reads every filing owner-managed companies make across eighteen counties and north London today, and the whole of Great Britain by December, the day it lands, and finds the ones whose accounts and charges say they are about to need finance. A database you query against your own objectives, with the reason on the register and the person to contact.
The research a £40,000 analyst would do, done for you, every month.
£150 a month Founding seat. Ten firms only. Every contact opened in full, the price held for as long as you stay, a full refund inside three months.How it works
It does what a research analyst would, at a scale no analyst could.
Two things, every day, without you lifting a finger.
Every business, every filing
Charges, accounts, ownership changes and new incorporations, the day they land, across every county. Nothing is missed and nothing needs asking for.
- Businesses in the database now

- Refinance and working-capital leads with a named decision-maker
- 35%
- The same leads with any route to the business
- 51%
- LinkedIn on named contacts

Contact rates are for the nine areas where contacts are loaded today, counted in the login on 6 October 2026. A named decision-maker means their own email or LinkedIn; any route adds the company email and the main phone line.
Read against how lenders actually lend
It reads each balance sheet the way a broker would and matches what it sees to the finance the business will need.
Coverage

Founding terms hold for as long as the subscription runs without a break. Unlimited means every contact opened in the product, at a working pace, under the licence terms. Allowances are per firm, per calendar month, and reset on the first. Every export, on every rung, is watermarked to your firm and carries contact details only for the firms you have already opened: built for working a list, not for passing one on. One refundable trial per firm.
Not leads: these are businesses whose filings say they will need money, with the evidence, and nobody has asked to be called. Not credit data: no scores, no CCJs.
Built on the public register
Nothing to take on trust.
Companies House, the day it lands
Charges registered and satisfied, filed accounts, ownership changes and officer changes for owner-managed companies, read continuously and cited on every row.
Verified business contacts
Named decision-makers where held: the email passed a deliverability check in the last ninety days and the name matches the register. LinkedIn and business phone where a public source has them.
