Just for fun
Bright Sparks
Everything on Spark Intel is built on Companies House filings, lending data, and structured finance intelligence. Bright Sparks is the one corner where we let curiosity lead.
We apply the same rigour - real accounts, real numbers, real comparisons - but the subject matter is sport clubs, boxing promoters, celebrity chefs, and podcast empires. No mortgage products. No lender rankings. Just numbers we found interesting.
