Sell to UK shops,
shop by shop.
High streets are made of small shops, and many of them trade under a bigger name. Adapt Leads keeps a shop that trades under a brand as its own business, with its own company, and never mixes it up with the franchisor behind the fascia.
The right owner behind every fascia.
Its own company, not the franchisor's
A shop trading under a brand keeps its own company. We don't give every shop the brand's company number.
The sign and the legal name
The trading name and the company that operates the shop sit side by side on the record.
Named where the register names them
Directors and owners, with whether their own mailbox is verified.
A number in a website footer proves who runs the website.
Many shops copy their parent's company number into a page footer. That tells you who runs the website, not who runs the shop. So when many sites share one number, we don't treat it as a register fact for each of them, and your email goes to the person who actually runs the one you want.

Questions, answered
What happens with a franchise?
Each shop that trades under a brand keeps its own company, not the franchisor's. A company number shared by many shops is treated as the brand's, not each shop's.
Why don't shops share the brand's company number?
Because a number printed in a shared footer tells you who runs the website, not who runs each shop. We don't treat a number shared by many sites as a register fact for each of them.
How do I search for shops?
Use the sector and place filters, or ask Adapt in plain English, for example independent gift shops in Harrogate.
Are the numbers checked?
Every phone number and email says how sure we are, and a catch-all or unanswered email is labelled rather than hidden.
