In practical terms, WC is both a major geographic label and a heavily used company-registration area.

When a company is registered, its registered office address is the publicly visible location of the company and the company has to legally be able to receive post at this address. Over 2,000 companies every day (sometimes over 3000) get formed. These are in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We analyse whether a registered office has a valid UK postcode that we can get grid co-ordinates for distance calculations and make sure the company has not closed down since it formed. You can then contact these people in the West Central London (WC) area, who may be interested in receiving your marketing message offering your services under the legitimate interest rules of GDPR (assuming you are marketing to companies who you feel have a potential interest in your services, either geographically or by category). Marketing is by post because it is a brand new company that won't have a business telephone number or business email address (and even if they have, its not part of the data collected and made available by Companies House)
