Bizcrunch
We built Bizcrunch from the ground up - a platform that helps entrepreneurs find and buy businesses in the UK. From the main web app to the complex data systems powering it, we created everything they needed to connect buyers with sellers in the M&A market.

Here's the thing - buying and selling businesses in the UK is broken. Most entrepreneurs who want to buy a company have no idea where to start, and business owners looking to retire often can't find buyers.
The numbers are pretty stark: 90% of companies for sale never actually sell, and only 15% of business owners have any kind of exit plan. Bizcrunch fixes this by making it simple to find, research, and connect with the right opportunities.
What We Built
Bizcrunch needed everything from scratch - the main platform, the data infrastructure, and all the backend systems to make it work. Here's what we delivered:
The Main Platform
We built the core web app where users search and browse companies. This includes smart filtering (like finding only profitable businesses or those with low debt), detailed company profiles with financials and ownership info, and a clean interface that makes sense of complex business data.
Data Infrastructure
Bizcrunch is powered by data - lots of it. We built the systems that collect, process, and organize company information from various sources, keeping everything accurate and up-to-date so users get reliable insights about potential acquisitions.
Admin Dashboard
The Bizcrunch team needed tools to manage everything behind the scenes. We created an internal admin portal for managing data, monitoring user activity, and keeping the platform running smoothly.
Automation Systems
We set up automated workflows using n8n on Kubernetes to handle repetitive tasks and integrate different services. This keeps the platform efficient and reduces manual work for the team.
Platform Highlights & Features
Company Search & Profiles
Users can search through thousands of UK companies and view detailed profiles with financials, ownership info, and company history - everything you need to evaluate a potential acquisition.
Smart Filtering
Find exactly what you're looking for with filters for location, industry, revenue, and our "Smart Acquire Filters" like "Low Debt" or "Profitable" - perfect for finding acquisition targets that match your criteria.
Data Export
Export company lists and data in different formats - whether you need everything or just contact details, you can get the data out of BizCrunch and into your own workflow.
Subscription & Credits

Simple pricing with credit-based exports and clear subscription plans. Users can easily manage their account, top up credits, and choose the plan that works for their needs.
How We Built It
We focused on building something that could handle thousands of users and massive amounts of data without breaking. Modern web tech, smart data pipelines, and Kubernetes to keep everything running smoothly - basically, the kind of setup that scales as Bizcrunch grows.
The Result
Bizcrunch now has a platform that actually works for both sides of the M&A market. Buyers can find opportunities they never would have discovered otherwise, and sellers have a real channel to reach interested entrepreneurs. It's solving a genuine problem in the UK business world.
