Overview

Gambling Connection: NEEDNEUTRAL LIMITED appears in this database because it held a UKGC gambling operator licence from January 2009 for over 17 years. That licence has since been surrendered, ending its formal regulatory relationship with the Gambling Commission.

NEEDNEUTRAL LIMITED has been on the Companies House register since 12 June 1986, giving it nearly four decades of corporate history. Its SIC code of 68209 relates to the letting and operating of own or leased real estate, so the company's primary trading activity isn't gambling. Its link to the licensed gambling industry comes through a former UKGC operator licence that was held for over 17 years before being surrendered.

The company's corporate score of 90 (A+) reflects a strong compliance profile: active status, a clear ownership structure, long incorporation history, and up-to-date filings. That's a clean record by most measures, and it's one of the higher scores in this database.

Ownership sits with Carlyon Holdings Limited, a corporate PSC holding between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights since April 2016. That structure places ultimate control firmly within the corporate group rather than with named individuals.

Governance

The company has one current director and secretary, both the same individual, appointed in October 2001. A previous director resigned in April 2025. Ownership is held by a single corporate PSC, Carlyon Holdings Limited, with a controlling stake of 75 to 100 percent notified in April 2016.
