We used a similar service last year <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.companysearchesmadesimple.com/">www.companysearchesmadesimple.com/</a>
and found similar results to Roger - one of our own Directors who
runs his own Company appeared as 2 separate entities....<br>
<br>
To be absolutely certain that we did have cast-iron information and
the correct target, we ran through every company with a name that
Companies House regarded as the same/similar as ......... Took a
while but beats being sued. (eg:- to ensure that 'Acme Bolt Company'
was our target and that we shouldn't have been investigating an
outfit called the 'Acme Bolts Corporation')<br>
<br>
We did then pay the fiver or so for a few specific detailed reports.
A fair amount of reading but less than £30 and we had all the
necessary information - we didn't need to access full detailed
financial information thankfully.<br>
<br>
These services are just front ends to the Companies House database -
extremely useful as a small fee saves you needing a Company House
Account. However, if it looked like all out battle in the courts,
I'd probably pay the Companies House fees and go direct to be as
certain as I could about the veracity of the information. One small
gap like one of Roger's directorships could, in the hands of a
skilled QC, sink an otherwise sound case......<br>
<br>
Company Reports and Directors Listings sound tediously dull, but
they can paint very revealing pictures........<br>
<br>
