Signal taxonomy

Six events. Each one a buying window.

Every SHAB publication is classified into one of six sales triggers. The right signal for your role means a company that needs what you sell, right now. Founders & Movers surfaces them before your competitors know they exist.

👔
High urgency
Cambio di leadership
New directors, signing authority changes, officer mutations. The moment a company's decision-making structure changes, vendor relationships are up for review. New management brings new preferences, new processes, and a strong bias toward replacing what came before.

💰
High urgency
Aumento di capitale
Kapitalerhöhung filings — growth signal with budget to spend. Fresh capital means headcount decisions, office space requirements, new vendor contracts, and financial services relationships all opening within weeks. The higher the raise, the larger the opportunity.

📦
Medium urgency
Trasferimento
Sitzverlegung — registered seat change. A company moving address needs local services at the destination: insurance policy review, commercial real estate, accounting relationships, and updated legal documentation. The move creates a natural mandate refresh across multiple service categories.
Insurance broker Commercial RE broker Accountant / fiduciary Lawyer / notary
✏️
Lower urgency
Rebrand / Name Change
Firmenänderung — company renaming or purpose change. A fresh name needs a fresh digital footprint: new domain, website, brand identity, updated legal documentation, and compliance re-registration. Web agencies and lawyers have a clear, time-bound window to reach out.

⚠️
Very high urgency
Segnale di difficoltà
Vorläufige Konkursanzeige, Art. 725a/b notices, Kapitalherabsetzung filings. Pre-insolvency signals where acting quickly makes the difference. Restructuring advisors, turnaround consultants, and debt collectors need to know the moment these events appear — not days later.

Very high urgency
Liquidazione
Auflösung infolge Konkurs, Löschungen wegen Vermögenslosigkeit. The final stage — assets are available, the estate needs administration, creditors need legal representation, and equipment needs disposal. The highest-impact signal for insolvency professionals, auctioneers, and distressed asset buyers.

How leads are scored

Every lead gets a score from 0 to 100

Two factors decide where a lead ranks in your feed. The score reflects both how well the company matches your ideal customer, and how timely the signal is for your role.

Fit
How closely the company matches your ideal customer profile — the customers you already close deals with.
Industry matches your focus
Company registered in your target cantons
Capital close to your deal-size sweet spot
Legal form you prefer working with
Timing
How urgently the specific event creates a buying window for your role — signals vary by how time-sensitive the opportunity is.
Distress and liquidation — very high urgency
Capital raises — high urgency
Leadership changes — high urgency
Relocations — medium urgency
Rebrands — lower urgency, longer window
Your role preset pre-configures which signals are most important to you. An insurance broker sees relocations weighted high. A bankruptcy lawyer sees liquidations weighted very high. You can override any weight from Settings → Personalization.

From the field

The signals that moved deals

"Le nuove iscrizioni di aziende sono il nostro principale canale di acquisizione. Ogni settimana c'è una costituzione a Zurich che merita una chiamata — e la vedo il primo giorno, non il trentesimo, quando tutti gli altri si sono già fatti sentire."
Partner, Fiduciary & Accounting
Treuhand firm, Zurich
"Il segnale di raccolta di capitale mi mette di fronte a fondatori che hanno appena vissuto un evento di liquidità. Hanno bisogno di relazioni bancarie e non sono ancora vincolati. La finestra di 48 ore è reale — quest'anno ho avviato tre nuove conversazioni con clienti grazie ad essa."
Senior Relationship Manager
Private banking, Geneva
"I trasferimenti sono il momento in cui cambiano le esigenze di spazio di un'azienda. Ricevere il segnale lo stesso giorno anziché alla terza settimana fa tutta la differenza tra aggiudicarsi il mandato e venirne a conoscenza in seguito."
