sherloc gives entrepreneurs a forward view of their business, and gives partners a trusted, high‑intent channel to support them at the moment they need help.
Partner with sherloc
We’re building the UK’s clarity infrastructure for SMEs - and we’re inviting a select group of partners to join us.
The next phase begins in Q1 2027 — and we’re opening applications now.
We already work with leading UK partners and a growing network of advisory, accounting and consulting firms.
Why partner with sherloc?
SMEs act when they have clarity
sherloc surfaces early signals: cost pressure, supplier risk, hiring needs, cash sensitivity, market opportunity; and shows founders what’s shifting before it hits.
- When a founder sees a signal, they look for solutions.
- Partners appear exactly at the moment of need.
This isn’t advertising.
It’s relevance.
A channel built around real decisions
sherloc shows SMEs the right partners at the right moment, based on their needs.
Your offering becomes part of the decision‑making flow, not an interruption.
- Their operational world
- Their financial reality
- Their forward view
- Their scenarios
- Their signals
- Their needs
Reach SMEs at scale without noise
sherloc is used by entrepreneurs already trading - typically between two hundred thousand pounds and ten million pounds in annual revenue.
These are businesses that:
- Make decisions quickly
- Feel pressure early
- Need trusted partners
- Value clarity
- Act when they understand the impact
sherloc gives you access to this audience without competing for attention on crowded platforms.
Two ways to partner with sherloc
Advisors & Financial Professionals
(Accountants, lawyers, lenders, investors, consultancies)
sherloc gives you - and your clients - a shared forward‑looking picture.
Founders see their world in business language.
You see it in financial terms.
Everyone works from the same truth.
Partners use sherloc to:
- Run what‑if scenarios with clients
- Compare hiring, pricing or investment decisions
- Prepare board packs
- Support funding rounds
- Assess runway and risk
- Guide strategic planning
Client data access
Access to client forward views is always permission‑based. Clients choose whether to grant you access - and can revoke it at any time.
sherloc never shares client data without explicit client permission.
Marketplace Product & Service Providers
(Law firms, HR/payroll, IT/cyber, insurance, FX, SaaS tools, recruitment, training, energy brokers, and more)
We’re building the UK’s first fully‑loaded SME marketplace - a single place where entrepreneurs can find the products and services they need to run, grow and protect their business.
sherloc surfaces partners when signals indicate a need:
- Hiring → HR, payroll, recruitment
- Supplier risk → legal, insurance, procurement
- Pricing changes → analytics, advisory
- Funding exploration → lenders, investors
- Operational bottlenecks → IT, cyber, SaaS tools
- Market opportunity → training, insight, support
Your product appears when it’s relevant, not randomly.
Q1 2027 Marketplace Revamp – Second Cohort (75 partners)
We’re revamping the marketplace in Q1 2027 and inviting 75 new partners to join the second cohort.
This is Phase 2 of our partner ecosystem, building on the strong foundation of partners already working with sherloc today.
If you want to be part of that launch, we can put contracts in place now.
Early partners get:
- priority placement
- early access to marketplace design
- influence over categories and positioning
- Front row visibility when the new marketplace goes live
This is the moment to join.
