Industry Analysis

Whole Sector Analysis

Our database is updated every day - so each time you log in to your account you see the very latest data for all the companies analysed in the sector. The information for each company is analysed in real time, and all the trends and analysis for the whole industry sector are updated in tandem. As a result the entire industry analysis is revised every day to reflect the most recent information filed by every company in the sector report.

Company Analysis

Every company in the sector is profiled with a full page report listing the directors, holding and parent companies, up to three years profit and loss and balance sheet figures, and an individual written financial status and performance assessment of each company. We provide research credits which allow you to click on any holding company, or any director, and drill-down to reveal a full profile of that company or person.

Benchmark and Rank Analysis

Each industry sector report lets you sort and rank all the companies in the sector by over 50 measures of performance. You can identify your key competitors, and place their performance in the context of the industry as a whole. We then analyse the entire industry, and show the key financial trends over recent years, and present a detailed appraisal of sales trends, profitability, liquidity, gearing, interest payments, and overall solvency. In addition to tables and graphs, each report includes a full written analysis of sales, profitability, liquidity, gearing, solvency, and key trends in the sector.

Identify Competition

You know of established competitors who offer similar products or services. But competition can also come from a new opponent forming a start-up company. These are often started by former employees of existing companies. These start ups often see the possibility to improve on existing services or capitalise on weaknesses that they know from their own experience. Our reports also enable you to see competitors in the same region of the country as your business, or find those with similar size or turnover. You can also see smaller businesses with rapid growth who could represent the rising stars of the future.

Bespoke Analysis

You can analyse and compare any peer companies online, and also have the analysis in printed reports. Most of our clients prefer to view whole industry tables online, and then use the printed reports to provide them with quick reference analysing the companies of most interest to them. You can sort all the companies in any sector by measures or size, performance, or geographical location. You can also select individual companies or groups of companies, and benchmark them against each other for any measures. Our researchers will have covered all the main companies in any UK industry sector, but if you want to add any other UK company to your analysis you can do so online. The whole industry sector analysis will be revised to include the data on any new company you add, and there will be a detailed analysis on the new company.

Monitoring

Create a list of all the companies of interest to you and you can then receive an email to notify you whenever there is a key event or change with the company, keeping you more informed about your rivals than they would prefer.
