Lead generation for trades. Find your next job. Build repeat business.

FormationData brings company, property, planning, tender and local business records into one search, so you can find the situations where a trade is likely to be needed.

That covers people asking for a recommended trade, open tenders, portfolio landlords, newly launched property traders, letting agents, planning applications and businesses that need regular work.

Yes. Electricians and plumbers can find landlords with several properties to maintain, letting agents and property managers who need reliable trades, and planning applications for extensions and new dwellings that will need first and second fix work.

Recommendation requests and tenders add work that is being asked for right now, rather than work you have to predict.

Yes. Planning records can be searched by location, date and application detail, so you can find extensions, conversions, new dwellings and other proposed works in the area you cover.

An application shows that work is being planned, which lets you approach the applicant before a builder has been appointed.

Yes. Portfolio landlords, property traders and letting agents all turn over properties that need plastering, painting and decorating between tenancies and before sale.

Planning applications for extensions and conversions also lead to finishing work once the structural stages are complete.

Yes. FormationData surfaces public requests where people are asking for a recommended electrician, plumber, builder, plasterer, painter or decorator in a particular area.

These are warm leads because the person has already said they need the work done, so a prompt and relevant reply goes a long way.

Yes. FormationContracts covers building, electrical, plumbing and refurbishment opportunities published by UK public bodies, including the contact details published with the notice where they are available.

Award records also show the main contractor, which is useful when you are looking for subcontract work rather than bidding directly.

Yes. Property ownership records let you search by postcode, town or local authority and see which companies own property there, along with how large their portfolio is.

You can also search newly incorporated UK companies by industry and location, which surfaces new property trading and development businesses before they have settled on their trades.

Yes. FormationBusinesses lets you search letting agents, property managers and other local businesses by type and location, including those without a high street presence.

Those businesses look after many properties and tend to give repeat work to trades they can rely on.

No. Contact details are shown where they are held or can be found from public sources, so coverage varies from one business or landlord to another.

Where a phone number, email address or website is not available, you can still use the registered office address and company details for outreach.

No. FormationData shows you where work is likely, such as a planning application, a request for a recommendation or a landlord with several properties. Whether it becomes a job depends on your approach, your pricing and the timing.

The advantage is reaching the right people earlier and more consistently, so you spend less time waiting for enquiries and more time quoting.
