Changelog

    The latest updates and improvements to NewcoHunter.

    We ship frequently. See all features

    Feature

    Pipeline dashboard

    Your dashboard now shows a three-card pipeline strip: leads received this month, how many you have in progress (contacted or interested), and how many you have marked as won. The contact rate is shown as a percentage so you can track how actively you are working your leads.
    Improvement

    Enrichment badges on lead cards

    Each company card in your leads inbox now shows which contact data is available - Website, Phone, Email, and VAT registration - so you can see at a glance which leads are ready to contact without opening each profile.
    Feature

    Distressed businesses tracker

    A new search page lets you find UK companies currently in administration or liquidation. Filter by distress type and region, and save the search to receive weekly email alerts when new companies enter distress matching your criteria.
    Feature

    Lead status and notes

    You can now tag any company with a lead status - Contacted, Interested, Won, or Not Interested - and add a free-text note. Status and notes follow the company across your leads inbox, company profile, and CSV exports. A Hide not interested toggle is on by default in your matches list so your working pipeline stays clean.
    Feature

    Google Sign-In

    You can now sign in and register using your Google account. Click Continue with Google on the login or sign up page - no password needed. Existing accounts are linked automatically if you use the same email address.
    Feature

    Director appointments

    Director names on company profiles are now clickable. Click any director to see every company they are or have been involved in - active and former appointments, roles, and dates - pulled live from Companies House.
    Improvement

    Leads inbox redesign

    The leads inbox has been redesigned. Instead of all companies listed in one long scroll, you now see a summary card per saved search showing your match count, a CSV export button, and a CRM push button. Click through to a dedicated matches page with pagination, filters, and per-company lead status.
    Feature

    Established businesses prospecting

    A new Companies section lets you prospect 4.8 million established UK businesses - not just new registrations. Filter by size band (micro, small, medium, large), financial trajectory (growing or shrinking), net assets, sector, and location. Growing companies are now powered by accounts movement data covering 867,000 verified size-band changes.
    Improvement

    Knowledge Hub

    The Knowledge Hub has been rebuilt with a two-level structure: categories and subcategories. Articles now have a sticky table of contents, estimated reading time, and a site-wide search. All existing article URLs redirect automatically.
    Improvement

    Richer industry and location pages

    Industry and location pages now show real formation statistics - how many companies registered this month, the month-on-month trend, median turnover time, and top sub-sectors - sourced from our full UK company database rather than generic estimates.
    Improvement

    Consolidated email digests

    Alert emails have been simplified. Instead of one email per saved search, you now receive a single digest covering all your saved searches together. Each section shows the match count, a preview of new companies, and a direct link to view them all.
    Content

    Expanded guides and tool FAQs

    We expanded our knowledge hub and blog with in-depth guides and added FAQs to every free tool, so more of your questions are answered right on the page.
    Security

    Spam protection on all forms

    We added human verification to our sign-up, login, password reset and contact forms to stop automated spam and bot sign-ups.
    Feature

    Formation trends on industry and location pages

    Our newly registered company pages now show live formation trends: how many companies registered this month, the month-on-month change, the top sub-sectors and recent examples.
    Improvement

    Resend your verification email

    If your email verification link has expired, you can now request a fresh one directly from the page instead of reaching a dead end.
    Improvement

    One-click magic links in digest emails

    Digest emails now include magic links so you can jump straight to a company or search without logging in again.
    Feature

    A suite of free company research tools

    We launched free tools including PSC and beneficial ownership lookup, a registered office checker, a business name generator, a SIC to NAICS converter, a filing deadline calculator, a company age calculator and a dormancy checker.
    Feature

    Contact enrichment and growth signals

    New company records now include enriched contact details and early growth signals, and director names are included in your digest emails and webhook payloads.
    New Feature

    Shell company detection

    NewcoHunter now automatically detects and flags likely shell companies, dormant entities, and formation agent addresses. Toggle shell filtering on any search to focus on real, active businesses.

    Feature

    Comparison, security and about pages

    New pages explaining how NewcoHunter compares to Companies House, DueDil, Endole and Red Flag Alert, plus a data sources and security page and the story behind why we built NewcoHunter.
    Feature

    Shell company detection and filtering

    We now flag likely shell and dormant companies and let you hide them from your saved searches, digests and exports, so your lead lists stay clean and relevant.
    Feature

    Saved searches and email alerts

    Save any search and receive an email digest of newly registered companies that match your industry, location and filters. You can edit your saved searches at any time.
    Improvement

    Clearer pricing and plans

    We locked in our Find, Monitor and Operate plans with clearer, simpler pricing so you can pick the tier that fits your prospecting volume.
