    The company is IN TOUCH NETWORKS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED, which was previously Directors Online Network Limited ([Directors Online Network] Limited is the only company mentioned on the website).

    Company number 08824806 (although this isn't mentioned on the website, and I can't find their VAT number either.

    The First Company Law Amendment Directive came in on 1 January 2007, and companies are required to put the following information on both their website and business emails:

    the company registration number
    place of registration (such as England and Wales)
    registered office address.

    In addition, the website also needs to include:

    The company name, postal address and company email address
    The name of any trade bodies or professional associations that the business is part of, including membership or registration details.
    The company VAT number, even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.
    Any prices on the website must be clear and unambiguous.


    I found this with a google of 'VAT' on the website:
    £399 (ex VAT) Now. £199.50 (ex VAT) Renew Now. Premium. 3 year Membership. £799 (ex VAT) Now. £399.50 (ex VAT)
    You're going to need to do your own due diligence to find out what you get for your money, but I came upon this little gem tucked away at the bottom of the T&Cs.

    Our membership fee is a 12 month annual membership which is non-refundable.
    And you can't see the following statement - I only picked this up when I copied the non-refundable bit:

    So I would advise you follow their advice and take Professional advice before parting with your money.

          It did involve a bit of ducking and diving...

              I'm slightly unsure about the client list. I've worked with a few of them (working with 1 at the minute) and they all outsource contractor recruitment to Agencies.....

                    Should have been clearer - nope but if you know where to look for datasets you can find it....

                    Technically I don't think you need a VAT number on your website unless you sell directly from it...
