There are 5.68 million registered companies in the UK. Most of them are essentially invisible to the businesses that need to find, vet, or monitor them.
That’s not a niche problem. That’s a structural gap in how B2B commerce actually works.
Think about what’s happening right now: RegTech is projected to hit $28B globally by 2027. KYC/AML compliance costs UK financial services firms billions annually. B2B SaaS multiples have compressed, yes — but the category winners in vertical data intelligence are still commanding serious premiums because defensible data moats are genuinely rare.
The companies building on top of real, proprietary, structured data — not scraped junk, not stale databases — those are the ones that compound over time. Every new user query, every enrichment, every monitored company makes the product more useful. That’s not a feature. That’s the business model.
Borsch.ai sits at the intersection of three things the market is paying for right now: sales intelligence, compliance infrastructure, and AI-native data access. We’re not trying to be one of those. We’re building the layer that makes all three work — for sales teams, investors, lenders, compliance officers, and anyone else who needs to understand a UK company fast.
The UK fintech and B2B SaaS ecosystem is maturing quickly. The infrastructure plays — the ones that become quietly essential — tend to get overlooked until they’re everywhere.
We think this is one of those.
