I was doing some research on a few UK start-ups and one great resource is the companies house Web Check service. It’s a database listing of all of the UK’s companies listed in alphabetical order. So why would the message below “Access to the service is closed” appear? Under civil servant rules do databases and websites now get weekends off?
LOL! Not just weekends, but evenings too (and in many cases day time also)!!! The short answer is the mainframe database provides realtime data, is huge and requires updating with statutory new/updated information daily.
Companies House provide a detailed explanation to someone else who asked the same question at http://303s.com/2006/03/13/companies-house-webcheck-closed-on-sundays/
