- Only companies with a real reason to need FX
- Each one comes with the person who decides
- Your existing clients left out
Reach them while they’re still deciding.
A company doesn’t choose an FX provider out of nowhere. First the need shows up in its records: customs entries, accounts that mention currency risk, a new LEI. HedgeSignal reads those records as they’re published, so you can make the first call.
- 1 The need starts
A first shipment from abroad, a big overseas contract, or a loss on the exchange rate.
- 2 It shows in the records
Customs entries, accounts that mention currency risk, a new LEI or a new finance director.
- 3 The company goes looking
The finance director asks the bank, searches online or takes a call.
- 4 It signs with someone
Usually its bank, or the first firm that called with a good reason.
With HedgeSignal You’re told at step 2, as soon as the record is published
Without it Most firms find them at step 3 or 4, alongside everyone else
1,031 companies with accounts from 2025 or later earn more than £1m abroad but have no customs record, because they sell services rather than goods. A prospect list built from import and export data never finds them.
Nine kinds of FX lead, from urgent to warm.
Every lead has a reason to need currency help now and a named person to speak to. We group them by why they need you.
Exposed now
Exchange rates are already costing them money.Lost money on currency
The latest accounts show a loss on exchange rates. A finance director who has just reported one has a reason to talk about the next.
You’ll speak to The finance director
Hit by tariffs
The accounts mention tariffs on goods it buys or sells, often alongside dollar costs. Its prices and suppliers are changing.
You’ll speak to The finance director or owner
New to it
They’ve just started trading abroad, or are getting ready to hedge.Started importing
A company appears in HMRC’s import records for the first time. New importers usually start out paying suppliers through their bank.
You’ll speak to The owner or managing director
Started exporting
A company sells goods abroad for the first time, and will soon have foreign currency coming in that it needs to convert.
You’ll speak to The owner or finance lead
Just got an LEI
An LEI is needed to trade many derivatives, including some forward contracts. A new one can mean the finance team is getting ready to hedge.
You’ll speak to The finance director
Ready to switch
They already buy currency, so the pitch is a better deal.Already hedging
The accounts mention forward contracts. They know how hedging works, so the conversation is about price and service.
You’ll speak to The finance director or treasurer
Big overseas sales
£1m or more of sales abroad, converted month after month. Many sell services, with no customs record, so trade lists miss them.
You’ll speak to The finance director or CFO
New finance director
A new finance director has joined a company that trades abroad. New finance directors often review their suppliers, including who handles currency.
You’ll speak to The new finance director
Not just a company name.
The reason behind every lead.
Each lead answers the four questions you’d ask before picking up the phone: why they need FX now, who decides, what it’s worth to you and what to say. Pick an example.
Why our leads turn into conversations.
- First to know
New accounts, customs records and LEIs reach you the morning after they’re published, often before the company has gone looking.
- Real exposure, not guesses
Every lead has evidence: a line in the accounts, customs entries or a filing. No guessing from job titles or website keywords.
- The decision-maker, named
The finance director or owner from the Companies House register, with the company’s phone number and website.
- Who they bank with
Lenders on registered charges show who already holds the relationship, so you know who you’re up against.
- Ready to pitch
The numbers that matter, what the company could be worth to you, and an email you can send today.
- Sources you can check
Every lead shows the record it came from, and when, so you can check it before you get in touch.
