You now have the following search options:

- Supplier Reports
- Monitoring
- International Reports
- Own Branded Reports
INCORPORATED, FINANCIAL, SALES AND SUPPLIER REPORTS
When searching by company name, unless you are using the exact name match option,
there is no
need to enter words such as plc, ltd, holdings and group, as these are common
end words, which will
be excluded from the search.
Searching by registered company number refers to limited companies only. It will
bring up an exact
match as all limited companies have a unique registration number. Alpha prefixes
however must be
entered, e.g. SC004723. For a complete listing, see Alpha Prefixes
in the Assistance section.
Searching by parent company number will identify all subsidiaries for the limited
company registration number entered. It will retrieve results from both the holding
company number and the ultimate holding company number. As in the registered number
field, leading zeros need not be entered.
Downloading individual company reports the search results screen will list all
the companies that
have been retrieved. Each company listed displays the company name, registered
number, company
status and registered address.
From the search results screen, select the company you require by simply clicking
on the highlighted company name. (Your account will now be debited with the relevant
points) You may find that not all
reports are available on every company. This could be due to a number of reasons.
For example, the company may not have been analysed if it has not yet filed accounts,
or it may be
filing non-trading accounts.
UNICORPORATED BUSINESS REPORTS
The system works in a similar way to that of obtaining incorporated company
searches.
DIRECTOR'S REPORTS
With over five million directors in the UK, it is important that you have good
quality information on the individual(s)
whom you wish to view a search on. From the Search Results screen, select the
director you require
by simply clicking on the highlighted directors name. Your account will now be
debited with the relevant points.
VIEWING, PRINTING or SAVING
When the report you have chosen is visible on screen, you can either just view
the information, print it
and/or save it to your computer.
