What Company Is Offering:
FreeAgent is an online money management and accounting tool intended for small, service businesses of 1-3 employees. This will include most kinds of freelancers, contractors and consultants. Whether you are just getting started, or are already in business as a sole trader or limited company, VAT registered or not, FreeAgent can save you time.
How It Works:
FreeAgent will probably not be for you if you tend to sell lots of products rather than services, hold materials and stock, or handle cash as part of your business.
All accounts start with a free 30-day trial. We have 2 basic types of price plans: our Universal Account which can be used by anyone, but is general used by businesses outside the UK, and our UK business plans for Sole Traders, Partnerships and Limited Companies
You can find full details of the cost structure on our pricing page. The short answer is £15 per month for UK Sole Traders, £20 per month for UK Partnerships/LLPs and £25 per month for UK Limited Companies while the Universal Account costs US $20 per month.
The main difference between our UK business accounts and the international Universal Account, is the calculation of certain UK tax liabilities, which has been built specifically for UK companies.
Universal accounts can still take advantage of all of the other money management features of FreeAgent and in time we'll be releasing localised versions of FreeAgent for other countries around the world, with tax functionality designed specifically for them.

Localeze---Helps merchants, marketers and distributors cash in on the >1 billion local searches made monthly by bringing buyers and sellers together
What Company Is Offering:
The Localeze data repository brings together local merchant information from several places, including Yellow Pages directories, authorized brand-dealer lists, Web sites and many other sources. What makes this data special is we also collect detailed business information provided by the merchants themselves — the most accurate business data you can find. Helps merchants, marketers and distributors cash in on the >1 billion local searches made monthly by bringing buyers and sellers together.
How It Works:
Using their Web tools, merchants can create and update comprehensive business listings quickly and easily. That way, not only do search engines get the freshest, richest content, but merchants also get the chance to present an accurate, detailed snapshot of their businesses.
Whether you're a local merchant who wants to attract new customers or a national retailer hoping to raise the profile of your stores, Localeze offers the tools you need. We let merchants of all sizes create powerful, rich business listings that don't get buried in search results. While other directories allow you to list only the basic details about your business, our Merchant Profile Manager allows you to add much richer content to your listings - including business category, specific products, brands, services, hours of operation, payment options and much more — making your stores much more "findable" for consumers. That's why more than 250,000 local merchants and a growing list of top retail brands have chosen Localeze to boost their visibility in local searches.
Localeze is the leading provider of local merchant data for the search and online Yellow Pages industries. They distribute their content to over 45 search sites that represent over 85% of all local searches, as well as a number of the largest directory sites on the Web. Their data repository contains 16 million records that have been verified and validated. And with the incorporation of their taxonomy engine, which delivers additional links related to important search terms, distributors can provide richer and more relevant results. Searchers get the right local business information at just the right time — and that's the kind of results that turn casual visitors into loyal users.

What Company Is Offering:
Sezmi is to offer consumers a new choice in television entertainment that integrates the next generation of television features and content with the traditional television programming that people expect and want to watch.

What Company Is Offering:
The myMovo Server is a video search engine which constantly searches the top internet video sites for new videos. myMovo software runs on your computer to stream video search results directly from the content provider, through your computer, to your media player.
You setup your preferences and perform searches through the myMovo website. Once you have filtered the search results you tell myMovo to start. myMovo then starts downloading the videos you selected to your computer, and then converts them to your media player format.
myMovo provides the ability to transfer non-copyrighted DVDs and video files from your computer to your media player. It does this by converting the file to a format supported by your device. To use the DVD feature, you choose the 'dvd import' option from the main menu. On the DVD screen, select the drive letter of your DVD player, then choose the language and the track. The defaults will work for most cases. You can also change the filename if you want to.

The FreePatentsOnline search engine is one of the most powerful, fastest and easiest patent search engines on the web
What Company Is Offering:
The FreePatentsOnline search engine is one of the most powerful, fastest and easiest patent search engines on the web. Their search allows advanced search techniques such as word stemming, proximity searching relevancy ranking and search term weighing to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Latent semantic searching is also available, and our account features let you organize, annotate and share documents, along with other helpful work-flow features.
How It Works:
FreePatentsOnline, the best online site for free patent searching, has had a makeover. In addition to the graphical differences, the site has been completely rewritten to allow more users, more powerful functions, and more data. If you have comments or questions about the new site,
Free Patent search is the process by which prior inventions or ideas are examined, with the goal being to find information that bears close similarity to a given patent or proposed invention.
There are three main types of patents: utility patents, design patents, and plant patents. Utility patents are patents on inventions which function in a new way or to provide a new result. A design patent, as its name implies, is a patent on the aesthetic design or ornamentation of something that already exists. A design patent is granted when the design in question does not change the functionality of the object, only gives it a novel appearance. Design patents primarily contain drawings. Plant patents are patents on types of plants that may be reproduced by grafts and cuttings. Note that patents related to genetic engineering of plants are normally considered utility patents. Utility patents are by far the most common type of patents, and are what people normally mean when they just say "patent".
