Place Intelligence

Local economic intelligence built on company records

CHART Place Intelligence helps teams understand local business landscapes, compare sectors and geographies, and drill into the companies behind the data.

Examine business populations, sector composition, high-growth firms, innovation-linked companies, startups, dissolutions, ownership patterns, company movement and change over time.

USES

Place Intelligence helps teams understand

Local business base

Analyse the scale and composition of business activity within a place.

Sector strengths and specialisation

Compare sector composition using SIC, Industrial Strategy sectors and other relevant classifications.

High-growth and innovation-linked firms

Identify firms that may merit attention within a local economy.

Startups and dissolutions

Examine business churn and changing business populations over time.

Ownership patterns

Review ownership and group structures that shape local economic activity.

Company movement

Track inward, outward and internal movement using registered-office movement intelligence.

MOVEMENT

Understand movement into, out of and within places

Company movement reveals useful signals about local economic change. Examine which companies have moved, where they came from, where they went and how movement varies by sector, geography and company characteristics.

The visual shown here is a spatial footprint view used for geographic context; movement evidence is produced through CHART's dedicated movement data and filters.
