Office Expansion
A company opens a new location or enters a new market
What is a office expansion signal?
An office expansion signal fires when a company announces they are opening a new location, moving to a larger office, or entering a new geographic market. It is detected via press releases, LinkedIn posts, Companies House registered address changes, and job postings in new cities.
Why it matters for B2B sales
Expanding into a new location creates a wave of operational needs: new leases, local compliance, new hiring pipelines, IT infrastructure, employee benefits in a new region, and often a complete review of whether existing tools can scale. The company is already in buying mode — you are responding to a concrete event, not guessing.
