Vision-net Online Business Information Service now free for all library members

Vision-net is now available, free of charge, to all members of Clare County Library. This service gives immediate online access to information on every registered Irish and UK company. It includes reports on directors, company owners, credit ratings, industries, insolvency trends plus every document filed by companies with the CRO (Companies Registration Office). Other documents include audited company accounts, changes in directors, allotments of shares and mortgages or charges. Information is updated daily.

Vision-net can be used by jobseekers to research potential employers and by entrepreneurs to investigate industry competitors (each company search includes a link to the top 20 companies in that industry). Existing business owners can source information to help manage business risks and keep up to date with their suppliers and competitors. Consumers can also use the service to investigate any companies they may do business with.

Information is sourced directly from the CRO in Dublin and the UK Companies House as well as the Irish Courts, Office of the Examiners and the Insolvency Service of Ireland. All information is from publicly available records. Vision-net itself is based in Dublin.
