Thanks guys. Never used it before so didn’t want to ‘offend’ anyone using such services.

There a a lot of companies that offer services that provide information on Limited companies. These are used for many reasons such as credit scoring etc..

For example, when you start a new Limited Company you are bombarded with intro offers from companies who have noticed your new business and jump on the registered address. I have had many web design companies contact me through this way in the past.

There are services out there that will tell you recently dissolved companies. Very handy for trying to catch dropping domains!

Hope this helps.

Hi Monica, as John rightly says that’s the trade off with going limited, your details are public knowledge, companies house is there to offer transparent information on limited companies for free.

Don’t see how looking up details at companies house could be a breach of the DPA. The whole idea of companies house is that the public CAN find out the details of companies. It’s data relating to companies rather than individuals.

hi Scott, I’m really getting attached to this whole domain name, leasing, renting etc. I never knew one could buy a dropped domain let alone contacting companies house for information by the owner? Won’t that be a breach of personal data(DPA)? Just wondering. keep this theme going. Ignore the first two pls

Good post,

This is one thing I have never thought of doing.

I know how to interrogate dissolved company data from a few sources and this has given me a great idea for an automated tool!

Thanks,
