Hi All.

Is there a website where i can find out about companies for free?

I could do with being able to search for a company and it tell me who owns it.

Thanks in advance

Mark

    If you do a search on the Companies House website you can download various information for a small fee. The benefit with this is that it has to be accurate.

    If not, could you ring the company and ask?!

    If you give us more information, we may be able to help more? x

    Hi Devonmark

    Really need to knwo why you want to know. As an investor enquiring:
    1 For companies Companies House - but check for any charges.

    2 The Financial Times give brief details of all listed companies.

    3 FT sometimes mention a free delivered company annual reports service.

    4 If it is one listed company you could ring them for a copy of their annual report

    5 Some big libraries have a reference book on companies referred to as REFS - it gives investor useful information.

    If you are complaining:
    1 Ask the company secretary for the complaints rocedure info

    2 If they are members of a trade association it may have a complaints procedure.

    I could rattle on but need you to be more specific...?

    All the best Takoo
