Actionable insights based on the latest info
We've all run credit checks or used Companies House to lookup annual accounts - the trouble is that it's not often clear for everyone in your team to know what actions to take with that information. It's either incomplete, outdated or shows you too much of the wrong information.
With Upfront, you get access to key insights and observations designed exclusively for commercial leasing transactions. What’s more, they’re presented in a consolidated, easy to interpret report.
This helps you answer three key questions about your tenants: (1) who they are, (2) does it look like they can afford to pay their future rent and (3) how sensitive or resilient their business is.

Connections to nearly all major accounting platforms
In August 2023, we analysed 1800 SMEs renting workspaces in the UK and found that on average their public financial data is 422 days old. It would be an understatement to say that a lot has changed in this time!
Upfront is the first business of its kind to get you the latest financial information directly from the tenants accounting platform - fully verified by our smart algorithms and the tenant themselves. How useful would it be to see the impact of Covid-19 on the profits and cash flows of an existing tenant that's asking for a rent deferral or reduction? How useful would it be to see the trend of profitability and cash flows of your potential new tenant for each month in the last 3 years?
