Answer
There are currently no plans to reinstate the nibusinessinfo.co.uk Companies Directory. Comparable, and in many cases more detailed, company data is currently available from Companies House via the GOV.UK website. Worldwide company directories can also be accessed through Invest Northern Ireland’s Business Information Centre.
These free online services were not available or as fully developed when the nibusinessinfo service first launched. Providing this service now would be a duplication of existing information.
