A hundred businesses near your office, and a reason to ring every one.

For the area round your office, we read what each office business publishes about itself: its public DNS records, the certificate it presents in a TLS handshake, its home page, a few of its own public pages (contact, about, privacy) and its robots.txt. Every request is listed in the method. No port is scanned, no private file is asked for, and nothing is logged into. Every check is dated, and the exact text it came from is kept.

PECR treats a limited company, an LLP or a public body as a corporate subscriber, which can be written to without consent as long as every message says who sent it and gives a valid address to ask for it to stop. A pack's emails go from your own mailbox, signed with your name and your postal address, so a reply reaches you. Sole traders and partnerships are individuals under PECR and need consent, so the first emails go only to businesses tied to a company registration. A business with no registration we could tie to it can still be on the call sheet as a number to ring, and its row says the number could be a sole trader's or a partner's own. Tell us when somebody asks you to stop, and by the next weekday morning, UK time, they are on the do-not-contact list for every channel and out of every later pack. The full position.

Yes, one domain at a time, and the commands are on this page so you can check our work. The pack is the part that takes the time: every office business around you read, first emails written only for limited companies, LLPs and public bodies, a number to ring found for most of them with its source, the rest ranked by what you can fix, and a finding sheet written for every one, with the do-not-contact list applied. Within 72 hours of payment. You spend your week on the phone instead.

We don't know yet, and anyone quoting you a number they haven't measured is guessing. The call sheet comes first because a call is where a conversation starts.

You do, from your own mailbox, with your own name in the From line and your postal address at the foot. Tell us when somebody asks you to stop, and by the next weekday morning, UK time, they are on the do-not-contact list for every channel and out of every later pack. We send nothing to the businesses in your pack.

No, and nobody honest can. We promise the things we control: at least 100 businesses that pass every check, every finding tied to a dated record, a full refund if we fall short of 100, and a two-for-one replacement for any finding that fails re-verification.

Because a finding about somebody's email is theirs first. The city reports carry counts only. A business is named only to an IT firm near it, on a private page or in a pack made for that firm, never on a public page.

Bondstone is run by Bondstone Global, ABN 46 950 504 862, from Melbourne, Australia, and its UK address is Hollywell House, Hollywell Lane, Leeds LS12 3HP. Our team works UK hours, weekdays 9am to 5pm UK time. Write to [email protected] and a person answers.

If we have already read your city and found your firm among its IT firms, you see the counts straight away. If not, your request is recorded and is on Rudi's screen at once, and he writes back to you by hand on a weekday morning, UK time: the same morning, or the next one if you write after midday. Your details are used to count the businesses near you and reply to you, and for nothing else.
