About the data
What you get — and, just as importantly, what you don't.
Everything we provide comes from a company's registration at Companies House. That gives you a named director, the company name, the registered office address and postcode, and the SIC categories the company chose — and nothing that would compromise GDPR.
✓ Included in every record
- ✓Company name
- ✓Company registration number
- ✓Registered office address & postcode
- ✓SIC (industry) category codes
- ✓Incorporation date
- ✓Named director (optional, where provided)
✗ Not available — and why
- ✗Telephone numbers
- ✗Email addresses
These aren't part of the registration process, so no provider can supply them for a brand-new company — they simply don't exist yet. By the time they appear on marketing systems 12–18 months later, the business has usually already bought the service you wanted to sell.
Why post, and why it's GDPR-friendly
A company must legally receive post at its registered office, so business mail is expected there. We provide that public address — never a director's home — which keeps you on solid ground under legitimate interest.
It's the public registered office
The address we supply is on public record at Companies House. Even where the mailing preference service applies, company post must legally be received at the registered office.
Legitimate interest, not consent
You select companies by category and geography because they have a legitimate interest in your service — a recognised legal basis for B2B postal marketing.
It beats the spam systems
Royal Mail doesn't open your letter to check it's gone to hundreds of others, the way Google and Microsoft scan email. Your message simply arrives.
Mail-forwarding filtered out
Worried the address is an accountant or virtual office? We can filter out the majority of mail-forwarding addresses for you.
