How it works
Score any location, compare candidates side by side, and know exactly why one wins - before you sign.
How it works
Start with a shortlist you already have, or let Shareloc build one for you. From there it's the same three steps.
Pick a city and a business category, and Shareloc shows you where the opportunity is.
A broker's shortlist, your own pipeline, or a single address you're weighing up.
Both paths land in the same place: a set of candidate addresses, ready to score.
Property teams run this in reverse. Start with a vacant unit and Shareloc ranks the business categories it can support, based on what the street already has and what it's missing.
Every candidate, scored for your business
A weighted score built for the business category you have in mind, with every factor broken out and nothing averaged across an area.
Up to four candidates, head to head
Every factor side by side, with weights you can adjust to match what actually matters for your business.
Know why one wins, and prove it
Open any score into the reasoning behind it, and export a breakdown you can put in front of whoever signs off the decision.
Scores update as the street around a location changes.
What goes into a score
The same address scores differently for different businesses, because each signal means something different depending on what you're opening.
Real pilot data
Steenweg, Utrecht
A street where 44.6% of businesses are fashion retail.
Business category
No same-category competitors on the street, and a category proven on comparable streets nationally.
Business category
Strong passing trade, but competing with 44.6% of the street for the same customer.
Zoning and functional-use class per address. A pass or fail gate, not a weighting.
The obvious choice on a fashion street is fashion. The data says otherwise.
How the score is built
Scoring one address means weighing thousands of data points about the businesses around it, who lives and works nearby, what the street already has, and what it is missing. Our AI-assisted engine does that work in seconds, and finds the patterns a person scanning a map would not see.
Every commercial address, street and centre we cover, scored against your business rather than sampled or averaged.
Which categories perform where, learned across thousands of streets nationally - not from one person’s experience of one city.
Every factor that moved the score, visible and exportable. No black box.
What this specific unit can support, scored for your business.
How the frontage around it performs, and which categories are missing from it.
Where your category has room across the centre, and which streets to look at first.
Tell us who your customers actually are, and catchment is scored against them rather than against a generic population.
Say which signals matter most for your business, and the weighting shifts with you.
The data, the method and the maths are ours. You never have to build a model or interpret raw numbers.
Every factor is visible, adjustable, and exportable. Nothing is taken on faith.
Gate on permit fit first - if the zoning blocks your use, nothing else matters. Then score demand at frontage level, rent per passer-by, same-category competition and unserved category gaps, and apply the same weighted criteria to at least three candidates.
A repeatable method for deciding where to open next: the criteria a location must meet, how they are weighted, and how candidates are scored against them. It makes decisions comparable across a rollout instead of re-argued each time.
Set criteria and weights before looking at sites, score every candidate identically, keep the reasoning attached to each score, and present the alternatives you rejected next to the site you chose.
No. Footfall tells you how many people pass, not how many buy what you sell. A busy street can be saturated for your category and open for another, so volume has to be read alongside category fit, competitor density and rent.
