    I'm sure they won't need that long. In fact I think the first results have already been retrieved.

    That's acceptable as a valid marketing approach so long as the user has honest intention to evaluate the product with a view to continue into paid subscription.

    If you want to do serious research into company registrations, accounts, ownership etc you probably need a subscription to Mint:

    Free trials are available I see.

    Well, in this case he should not be so nosey and if he is then should be prepared whole quid for the data.

    It's not cheapskatesuk.com - even permies should be able to afford to buy company info for £1 (close to cost of Mars bar in vending machine).

    £1 per company document is the same as free, in fact it's better than free - with this token gesture you support Companies House that processes all documents in the first place.

    My view is that business that provides valueable information should be supported especially when the cost is very much token £1.
