Corporate TPS

What does TPS mean for businesses?

Until now, only residential numbers or the numbers of sole traders and some partnerships could be entered on the TPS register. However, from 25 June 2004, limited companies and all partnerships can also register their telephone number(s) on the TPS list. This will also be free of charge.

This means that from 25 June 2004, anyone making promotional and/or fundraising calls to any business must ensure that they are not calling a business number registered on TPS. If a business wants to register its number(s) on the TPS list, it must do so in writing. Registration is renewable annually. For more information about how to use the TPS register, visit their website www.tpsonline.org.uk.
