Frequently Asked Questions

New companies appear on Slopless within seconds of being registered. Two sources feed it: the official Companies House stream and Slopless's own proprietary early stream, which often finds a company before it appears on any public feed. Those are marked Early. Slopless users are usually told a company exists before its founder has checked.

From the public Companies House register, read through its official data services and through Slopless's own early stream, and from each company's own website. Slopless does not buy contact lists, scrape social networks or guess email addresses. If a company has not published a detail, you will not see it.

The company name and number, the time it was seen, its SIC codes, its directors and owners with their towns and nationality, the registered address, its website, the phone number and email addresses published on that website (with the director's own address flagged), buying signals read from the site, an AI verdict on whether the site is really this company's, and any other companies the same people run.

For each new company Slopless looks for a website whose domain matches the company name. If a live site is found it reads the home page, the contact page and the about or team page, and takes the phone number and email addresses the company has published there. It then checks whether any address belongs to a director by matching it against the names on the register. Only published details are used; nothing is generated or verified by sending mail.

A website found by name can belong to a different business with a similar name, or to an older business that has just incorporated. An AI check reads the site against the register and gives one of four verdicts: Own site, Established, Different site or Unsure, with its confidence and reasons. You can overrule it with your own verdict, which your team then sees, and you can hide companies whose site was judged Different.

Things a company's website or register entry shows it does: taking card payments, selling online, offering finance or subscriptions, trading internationally, having overseas owners, running paid advertising or email marketing, hiring, having premises or a fleet, holding trade accreditations, taking bookings, selling to other businesses, or collecting reviews. Each one appears as a badge; hover it and it explains what it means, why it matters and what was found.

SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes are the industry codes every UK company registers with. For example, 69201 is "Accounting and auditing activities". Slopless lets you choose the codes you sell to, add keywords for company names, save the selection as a preset for your team, get an alert when a matching company forms, and narrow the feed to matches only.

Group means a director or owner of the new company already runs other companies; the badge shows how many and Details lists them. Linked means businesses connected to this one through a shared director or owner have their own websites and contact details, which are shown alongside it. A serial founder is often a warmer, bigger opportunity than a first-time one.

New companies are not the only signal. The People Stream brings new director appointments and changes of ownership at established companies into the feed as they are filed, with the person, their occupation and the date. Turn New directors and New owners on or off under Show.

Yes. Under View choose a list, cards or a sortable table, then open the designer to drag the details you want into place, size them and set what a click does. Table columns resize by dragging. There are four text sizes and a dark and a light theme, nationality can be shown or hidden, and saved layouts can be shared with your team.

A live, shared version of the feed for a team working the day together. Start it from the feed with your filters, and matching companies drop onto the board as they form. Everyone claims rows, ticks off calls and emails, and hits the red button when a meeting is booked.

Three tools for working a list of companies and people. Directors and their other companies: upload a spreadsheet of up to 500 company names and get back every director with all their other appointments as a formatted spreadsheet by 9am the next day. Look up one company: search a company and see its directors and their other companies in seconds. Director Watch: follow chosen directors and get an email when one takes a new appointment, checked every four hours.

They run on their own and email you. The Incorporation Digest sends a weekly spreadsheet of every new company matching your SIC codes and keywords. The Website Watcher checks companies you choose every day for 30 days and emails you the day a website goes live. Both are set up once on their own pages.

Yes. Export downloads whatever is on screen, with your filters applied, as an .xlsx file with a column for everything: company, number, SIC codes, director and nationality, owner, address, website, phone, emails, director's email, buying signals, site verdict, linked businesses and more. Any day or range of up to seven days can be exported, going back 45 days.

Yes. Sign up with your work email address, enter the verification code and your seven-day trial starts straight away with every tool included. No card details are needed and there is no contract.

£99 per user per month after the free seven-day trial, with everything included. There is no contract and you can cancel at any time. Larger teams and enterprise arrangements are agreed separately - email hello@slopless.co.uk.

We email you two days before and once when it has ended. Access pauses until a subscription is set up, which takes one email and is usually done the same day. Nothing is deleted: your presets, saved layouts and verdicts are waiting if you continue.

Yes. Each person gets their own account within your organisation. Industry presets, shared layouts, verdicts on websites and Mayhem boards are shared across the team; Watches and uploads are private to each user. One trial is available per organisation, so if a colleague has already started one, email us and we will add you to it.

Yes, Slopless works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and mobile. It is designed for a desktop screen, where the table view and the designer come into their own.

Your working settings - filters, Show and View choices, theme, column widths - stay in your browser. The things you choose to save are kept on our server so they follow you between devices and can be shared with your team: industry presets, saved layouts, your verdicts on websites and your Watches. We also log when you copy a company's details, so we can see how the service is used.

Nobody outside your organisation can see anything of yours. Within your organisation, presets, shared layouts, verdicts, Mayhem boards and who is online are shared, because that is how a team divides up the register. Your Director Watch, Digest, Website Watcher and uploads are private to you.

We never sell or share personal data for anyone else's marketing. A few providers process data on our instructions to run the service: our hosting provider, an email provider for the emails we send you, an AI provider that checks whether a website belongs to a company (it sees public register facts and website text, never anything about you), a payment provider when you pay by card, and an email sending service for the emails we send to businesses. The Privacy Policy lists them all.

One session cookie keeps you logged in; that is all. No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no third-party trackers. In-app preferences are held in your browser's local storage.

We write to businesses we think would find Slopless useful, such as accountancy practices, agencies, brokers and recruiters, using an address the business has published on its own website. Every email has an opt-out link, and you can also email hello@slopless.co.uk. Once you opt out we add your address to a suppression list and never write to it again.

Your name and appointments come from the public Companies House register, and any phone number or email address comes from your company's own website. If you do not want your published contact details shown to our users, email hello@slopless.co.uk: we will delete the contact details we hold for you, add your address to our suppression list and not collect it again. The Privacy Policy explains your rights in full.

Your password is salted and hashed before it is stored. We never store it in plain text and we cannot retrieve it; if you forget it, you reset it from the login page.

Yes. Everything between your browser and our server is encrypted over HTTPS, with a certificate that renews automatically.

No. Your account is signed in on one device at a time. If you log in on a second device the first session ends. This stops a shared or compromised device keeping access to your account.

Yes. Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app is optional during a trial and required on paid accounts. You are walked through it once, with recovery codes in case you lose your phone.
