Overview
Gambling Connection: GUIDE ASSOCIATION LIMITED is linked to a UKGC-licensed operator that shares its name, which is why it appears in the Saferwager database. The company itself isn't classified under a gambling SIC code, but its corporate connection to licensed gambling activity brings it within scope.
GUIDE ASSOCIATION LIMITED was incorporated on 30 January 2002 and registered at Lorne House, Holywood, County Down. The company operated for roughly two decades before being dissolved, and it's no longer an active legal entity. Consumers and researchers should treat any dealings or associations with this company with appropriate caution given its dissolved status.
The company holds a D grade with a score of 53 out of 100. Its age of over 24 years contributes positively to that score, but the dissolved status wipes out its status score entirely, and there are no compliance points recorded. Accounts haven't been filed for well over five years, which reflects the company's inactive position.
GUIDE ASSOCIATION LIMITED isn't flagged as directly gambling-related under its SIC classification, but it does appear in the Saferwager database due to a link with a UKGC-licensed operator. That connection, combined with the dissolved status, makes this a company worth understanding in full before drawing any conclusions about the associated gambling activity.
Governance
The company has two current officers on record: one director and one secretary. The director is resident in Ireland. Ownership rests with a corporate PSC holding between 75% and 100% of shares, notified from July 2016. There are no individual PSCs on record and no PSC exemption statements.
