Frequently asked questions
What do I need to enter?
Your address, available budget and usable shop size. Add any other constraints you know, then investigate the suggested ideas in person.
How are the ideas selected?
Spotfic uses nearby business listings, local anchors and your constraints to produce a ranked shortlist. Listing coverage and AI estimates can be incomplete, so confirm the fit and costs yourself.
Will it work for a small town?
You can enter a small-town or rural address. Results depend on available nearby listings. Sparse listings do not prove that demand exists or that there is no competition.
Does a high rank guarantee success?
No. A shortlist is a starting point for research, not proof of demand or profit. Check skills, costs, permissions and customer needs before investing.
What happens after I choose an idea?
Visit the area and investigate the idea. You can also run a separate location report for that business type; each generated report uses a credit.
