Every active company in your trade, counted from the United Kingdom register. Free, no account, about 20 seconds.
You have the number. Turn it into named companies with a way to reach each one.
Three ways, and you need only one. Every count is for the whole United Kingdom. Narrowing by area is in the app.
The trade, not the person. “Used car dealers” rather than “people who might want a valet”.
Company numbers, separated by commas. Winnowed reads their trades off the register and counts everyone like them.
Five-digit codes, separated by commas. Most people never need this.
A spreadsheet of named companies: 14 columns, one row per company, sorted so the rows you can act on today sit at the top.
| Company name and registered number | Any row can be checked against the public register in seconds. |
| Email address | Plus whether it belongs to the company or to a named person. A named individual’s address is personal data, so it is withheld by rule and the file says so. You are not handed something you cannot lawfully send to. |
| Telephone number | Often present on companies with no email at all. |
| Website | Given only when the site proves it belongs to the company: its registered number, its full registered name or its registered postcode, and the row says which. With no proof, the row has no website and no contact, and says why. |
| Registered address and town | Every row has one, so a postcode territory is complete whether or not the company is online. |
| What the row is good for | Each one reads email and phone, email, phone or register data only. The file arrives in working order instead of needing one. |
| Status and reason | Why each row was kept or refused, in words you can check. |
| Words found and where | Ask it to look for terms on each company’s own site (a technology, an accreditation, a service), and matching rows are marked and sorted first. |
Every one of them, not a sample, and not only the ones that happen to rank on Google.
Buy it once and keep it. No seats, no credits, no renewal that takes it away, and you are never charged twice for the same company. Winnowed sends us the trade and the area you asked for; every contact page is read on your own machine, so the contacts never leave it.
The companies we could not stand behind stay in the file, marked, with the reason beside them. You see what was kept and what was thrown away, which means you can check the work rather than take it on trust.
You already know who you want to sell to. What costs you is getting hold of them. List brokers sell you names, qualified or not, converting or not, and you pay before you find out which. Most of them do not sell you the names at all. They rent them to you for 12 months.
Winnowed is software that runs on your own computer. Tell it a trade and a place, and it counts every active company on the United Kingdom public company register that matches: free, in seconds, before you spend anything. If the number is worth having, it goes and finds the ones you can reach: website, email and telephone, taken from each company’s own site.
For sales and marketing teams who source their own prospects, and for anyone who has paid for a list and found 4 addresses in 10 were dead or belonged to somebody else.
winnowed past participle of winnow
To blow the chaff (the worthless husks) away from the grain, and more broadly to separate what is useful from what is not. What is left is smaller, and all of it is worth having.
Counting is free and stays free, however many times you press it.
