vs lead-generation agencies £450–£2,500/month, usually plus ad budget
An agency runs ads or telemarketing and sells you the enquiries.
When it works, it's hands-off — and that's the appeal. But you're
renting a process you never see: the leads stop the day you stop
paying, you can't audit where a lead came from, and the good
agencies cost more per month than most small practices' entire
marketing budget.
Statworth is the opposite trade: £250/month
for the system itself. Your patch, your shortlist, your
relationships — and every prospect comes with the public-record
reasoning behind it.
Honest note: if you have zero hours for BD and a
large budget, an agency may still suit you. Statworth is for
practices that can invest one morning a month to own their
pipeline.
vs company-data platforms £200–£300+/month
Credit-risk and company-data platforms are excellent at what
they're built for: monitoring portfolios, checking counterparties,
flagging distress. But they're built for risk teams. Turning one
into a client-acquisition system means exporting spreadsheets,
building your own scoring, and maintaining your own pipeline
elsewhere.
Statworth starts where they stop: the same statutory data, but
scored for accountancy fit, aware of your patch, aware of the
incumbent accountant, and attached to a pipeline you work — not a
spreadsheet you maintain.
vs generic B2B databases per seat, often £300–£1,000+/month equivalent
The big sales-intelligence platforms are built for volume outbound
by sales floors — US-centric coverage, per-seat pricing, and
enrichment tuned to tech companies. For a UK practice they're
expensive overkill: weak on small UK companies, blind to filed
accounts, and with no concept of "who's their accountant?"
Statworth is grounded in the UK statutory register — the one
dataset where every company in your patch actually appears — and
priced for a practice, not a sales floor.
