From idea to a first test in a few minutes.

Benchmarkly compares your idea with similar UK companies from public Companies House records, then helps you plan a cheap first test before you spend real money.

1. Pick a business and a place. Choose from 731 official business types and a city, postcode area or region. If your idea doesn’t fit a category, describe it and the chat finds the closest comparison with you.
2. See the comparison. How many similar companies are registered, how recently they formed, how many are closing, and, where enough accounts report it, what they typically hold in cash and owe. Every figure shows how many company records support it.
3. Answer two questions. Who your first customer is, and why they’d choose you over what they use now.
4. Get your three-week test plan. Download it as a PDF or slides, or save it with a one-time email link so you can come back to it.

It won’t predict whether you’ll succeed or prove customer demand. The methodology explains what the records can and cannot show.
