Palanor Foresight™ comes with a free Palanor account. Create one · Continuation is open to everyone.
Palanor count from Companies House Basic Company Data, the monthly snapshot of every live body on the register: companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, charitable incorporated organisations and overseas entities. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The registered office is an address for post, often an accountant’s or a formation agent’s, so London counts more companies than trade there.
