What it does
If you’ve landed here, you were probably looking for NewBusinessMonitor ( newbusinessmonitor.co.uk ) or its later incarnation, CompanyQuery ( companyquery.co.uk ). Both are now closed, and the old addresses redirect to this page. For a few years I ran these as a hobby business. The original idea was simple: let people search for UK companies within a given radius of a postcode.

We'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas you have for how we can improve the dashboard! Thanks :)
