Foolproof means you go in knowing — not that nothing can go wrong. It's information, checked by a person; not a survey, a valuation, or legal or financial advice.
The street, the council, the customers, the staff
Who trades here, and what closed
Every registered food and retail premises on the street and around it, what's opened and what's gone. The real picture of footfall, not the agent's.
The competition and their reviews
Businesses like yours nearby, how they're rated and what customers keep saying — the gaps you could fill.
The council routes that matter
Licensing, business rates, planning use class and permits, with the exact council pages for this postcode. The bit that stalls most openings.
Planning, nuisance and crime
Applications nearby, sewage works and industrial sites, road and rail noise, air quality, and recorded crime by category for the last six months.
The local labour market
Who lives here, what they earn, what jobs are advertised nearby and at what pay — whether you'll find staff and what they'll cost.
The area file and the news
What's happening locally that a listing won't mention: regeneration, closures, road works, the council's plans. Kept by Parish, our local-knowledge desk.
Then a plain-English verdict written against your brief — open, wait, or walk away, and why. Every figure carries its source and the date we pulled it.

Fast because of software. Trusted because of people.
No pretending otherwise. Jackson uses software and AI to do the heavy lifting — that's how the price stays sensible and the turnaround stays quick. But this isn't a faceless bot: a real person checks every report before it reaches you, and there's a real person to talk to when you need one. You get what the data says, including the parts that aren't convenient. It's information, not legal, financial or valuation advice.
