Every owner in the trade. Ranked.
BoltOnRadar builds the full list of owner-operated companies in a trade and region from public business and licence records, then ranks them by signs that an owner may welcome a conversation.
From a thesis to a ranked list
- 01
Define
Choose the trade, the states or metro areas and the size band you buy in.
- 02
Gather
The tool compiles companies from state business filings, licence boards and public directories, and merges duplicates.
- 03
Rank
Each company is scored on public signals such as years in business, licence history and ownership changes.
- 04
Review
Your team sees the list, the reasons behind each score and a suggested first contact.
The whole market, in priority order
Most target lists are a sample: whoever a database happened to include. BoltOnRadar starts from public filings and licence records, so the list is as complete as the public record.
Each company carries the reasons for its score, so an associate can check the logic before anyone picks up the phone.
For every company
- Legal name, trade and location
- Years in business
- Licence classes and history
- Ownership changes on record
- Suggested first contact
Signals, not predictions
A long-held licence does not mean a business is for sale. BoltOnRadar ranks where to start, and people make the calls.
The tool uses public records only. It holds no private financial statements.
Before you ask
Which trades are covered?
Licensed and registered service trades, where public records are richest. Coverage varies by state, and each list shows its sources.
Does it include financials?
No. Private company financials are not public. The ranking uses filings, licences and directory data.
Can we load our own criteria?
Yes. Size band, geography, service mix and exclusions come from your thesis.
When can we use it?
BoltOnRadar is in development. Join the early-access list and we will contact you when places open.
