What is Brand & Market Intelligence?

It is Brand Hub's professional business research service for new and existing businesses. We research markets, customers, competitors, locations, budgets and marketing opportunities and present the findings through a structured intelligence report.

How much does a report cost?

Essential Intelligence costs £149, Advanced Intelligence costs £299, and Complete Intelligence costs £499. All three are one-off services rather than monthly subscriptions.

Can you research my business before I launch?

Yes. Pre-launch business research is one of the main purposes of the service.

Can you tell me whether an area is suitable for my business?

We can research the suitability of a proposed location using relevant available information and explain its potential advantages, challenges and market characteristics.

Can you compare different locations?

Yes. Complete Intelligence can include comparison of up to three proposed locations where location comparison is relevant to the project.

Will you research my competitors?

Yes. Competitor intelligence is included across all three packages, with greater research depth in Advanced and Complete.

Can you estimate my start-up budget?

We can provide indicative budget guidance to support business planning. These estimates should not be considered formal financial or accounting advice.

Do you research marketing opportunities?

Yes. All packages consider marketing opportunities. Advanced and Complete provide significantly deeper research across areas such as SEO, social media, paid advertising and customer acquisition.

Can existing businesses use the service?

Yes. The service can support existing businesses considering expansion, new locations, new products or services, repositioning or new marketing opportunities.

Does the report guarantee my business will succeed?

No. Business performance can never be guaranteed through market research. The purpose of the report is to help you make a more informed decision using structured research and analysis.

Intelligence ReportsOVERVIEW

Starting a business involves hundreds of decisions — where to launch, how much to invest, who your customers are, what competitors are doing and how you will reach the market.

Brand & Market Intelligence by Brand Hub provides professional research and intelligence reports for new businesses, entrepreneurs and established companies that want clearer information before making important commercial decisions.

We research the opportunity, analyse the market and turn the findings into a practical report designed to support your next move.

Know the Market Before You Enter It

A promising idea does not automatically mean a strong business opportunity.

The same business can perform very differently depending on its location, target audience, competition, pricing, operating costs and marketing strategy.

Our intelligence service helps you investigate these areas before making significant commitments.

Whether you are preparing to launch or already trading, we provide structured research to help you understand the market around your business.

Already Running a Business?

The objective is simple: give you more information before you commit your money and resources.

Market intelligence can also help established businesses understand where they currently stand and where opportunities may exist.

Research can support decisions around growth, new locations, marketing, competitor positioning, new services and expansion into different markets.

Location Intelligence

Location can significantly influence the performance of many businesses.

A restaurant, retail shop, salon or service business may have a strong concept but still struggle if the surrounding market does not match its target customer.

Our location intelligence research examines relevant available information around your proposed area.

Depending on the package and business type, this can include local demographics, nearby competition, surrounding commercial activity, accessibility, target customer suitability and local market characteristics.

Complete Intelligence can also compare multiple proposed locations where appropriate.

Competitor Intelligence

Before entering a market, it helps to understand the businesses already serving it.

We research relevant competitors and analyse available information about their positioning, pricing, products or services, customer proposition, digital presence and marketing activity.

The purpose is not simply to identify competitors.

We look for patterns that can help you understand how crowded the market is, how competitors position themselves and where opportunities for differentiation may exist.

Customer & Market Intelligence

Knowing your customer influences almost every other business decision.

Our research helps define the potential target market and customer profile for your business.

Depending on the available information, we examine relevant demographic and market characteristics to help you better understand who your customers may be, what they need and how your business could reach them.

These insights can support decisions around location, pricing, branding, products, services and marketing.

Budget Intelligence

Many businesses underestimate costs before launching.

Our research provides indicative budget guidance based on the type and scale of business being considered.

Where relevant, this can include considerations around premises, equipment, technology, branding, website development, marketing and other initial business requirements.

Advanced and Complete reports can examine broader operational cost considerations where appropriate.

Budget estimates are provided for research and planning purposes and should not replace professional accounting or financial advice.

Marketing Intelligence

Not every marketing channel is suitable for every business.

A local restaurant may need a completely different acquisition strategy from an online retailer or professional services company.

We research marketing possibilities relevant to your business model, audience, location and competitive environment.

Depending on your package, this can include:

Identify Market Gaps

Rather than recommending every available marketing channel, our objective is to identify the channels that appear most relevant to the opportunity.

Advanced and Complete Intelligence go beyond basic competitor research.

We examine the market for potential gaps, underserved customer requirements and opportunities for stronger positioning.

These findings may help shape decisions around your product, service, pricing, customer experience, branding and marketing strategy.

A market gap does not automatically guarantee commercial success, but identifying one can provide a useful direction for further business planning.

Intelligence for Existing Businesses

Business intelligence remains valuable after launch.

Existing businesses can use our research when considering:

How It Works

The research can help management evaluate opportunities using external market information rather than relying entirely on internal assumptions.

Research That Supports Decisions

Brand & Market Intelligence is designed to provide research and commercial insight — not unrealistic promises.

No research company can guarantee that a particular business, location or marketing strategy will succeed.

Actual results depend on numerous factors including market changes, competition, investment, management, execution and customer behaviour.

Our role is to reduce uncertainty by providing better information before you make the decision.
