Why pipelines run late

By the time it’s public, it’s priced.

Tenders arrive pre-shaped

By the time a fit-out reaches procurement, an incumbent has usually framed the budget, the spec and the shortlist. Everyone else is column fodder.

Databases tell you who, not when

Contact platforms sell you every company that exists. None of them can say which ones are 9 months from signing a lease.

Referrals don’t scale

Word of mouth is real but lumpy. A pipeline built on it swings between feast and famine.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What counts as an office fit-out lead here?+

A named London company scoring 60+ on Signal’s model — meaning multiple public-record signals (lease expiry approaching, planning application filed, ownership change, sustained hiring) point to an office move, refit or refurbishment. Each lead carries the why, the timing window, floor area where known, and a decision-maker contact.

How early are the leads?+

Typically 6–18 months before the change completes — the window in which occupiers appoint designers and contractors. Lease events give the longest warning; planning applications and imminent breaks flag the hottest, shortest-window opportunities.

How is this different from buying a contact database?+

Databases are static directories: who a company is. Signal is a timing engine: when a specific company is likely to buy what you sell. You could reach the same 155,100+ companies cold — Signal tells you which 1,000 to call this quarter and why.

Is it just for fit-out contractors?+

No — the same movement intelligence serves designers, agents, furniture dealers, AV/IT and relocation firms. Your account is tuned to your patch: sectors, submarkets and project sizes you actually want.
