NEW INCORPORATION INTELLIGENCE FOR IP & INNOVATION
Find the new companies most likely to invent.
Not every newly incorporated company represents the same opportunity for an IP firm. Sentra combines SIC-based propensity with research into the people behind the company to score, prioritise and enrich businesses before they enter your acquisition campaign.
THE STARTING POINT
Your target SIC codes are the first signal.
Certain activities naturally create a greater propensity for innovation, product development and potentially protectable intellectual property. SIC gives us a practical first filter — but companies inside the same SIC can still represent very different opportunities.
01
Company activity
Weight target SIC codes according to their expected relevance to your firm’s IP strategy.
02
Who is behind it
Resolve the POSC and research professional history for evidence relevant to innovation propensity.
03
Prioritise the list
Combine the evidence into a transparent score that helps BD teams focus on the strongest opportunities first.
THE PROPENSITY MODEL
Turn a new incorporation into an opportunity score.
The scoring logic can be engineered around two complementary dimensions: the company itself and the profile of the person behind it.
SIC + company signals
Target SIC, specialist activity and company-level evidence.
Founder profile
Technical, scientific, engineering and product-development evidence.
Evidence travels with the score, so BD knows why the company deserves attention.
EXPLAINABLE BY DESIGN
A score is only useful if you know why it exists.
Sentra can preserve the evidence behind the score so a high-priority record arrives with context that can also inform outreach.
01 — SIC
Company propensity
Apply agreed weighting to SIC codes and relevant company-level criteria.
02 — POSC
Resolve the person
Identify the Person with Significant Control and establish the correct professional identity.
03 — RESEARCH
Profile the founder
Assess relevant evidence such as technical, scientific, engineering, product or sector experience.
04 — SCORE
Prioritise transparently
Combine the evidence using client-defined logic and retain the reasoning behind the outcome.
Don’t give your BD team another list. Give them a reason to prioritise one company over another.
SAME SIC. DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITY.
Two companies can look identical in a Companies House search.
Company A
Relevant technology SIC.
General consultancy proposition.
No strong product-development signals identified.
Founder profile primarily commercial.
Company B
Same relevant technology SIC.
Evidence of proprietary product development.
Technical founder with relevant sector history.
Multiple innovation indicators identified.
Both appear in the same Companies House search. Your BD team should not necessarily treat them equally.
FROM SCORE TO MESSAGE
Qualification intelligence becomes messaging intelligence.
The evidence behind a priority score can help explain why the business is interesting before the first conversation takes place.
THE WORKFLOW
From incorporation to prioritised campaign.
The scoring model can be adapted around the SICs, founder characteristics and commercial signals your IP team considers most valuable.
