The long game is for companies to store NUM data when they register a domain, potentially through their DNS provider or web designer. Maybe even storing machine readable data instead of a website, since many small business websites are cookie-cutter anyway – contact info, directions, menu etc.
Public data is available for most domain registries, e.g Nominet [0] and others [1] so we crawl new domains to discover contact data.
It could be good to chat (email elliott[dot]brown@num.uk), we're in the process of mashing up Companies House data with our contact data in an effort to provide company numbers in NUM records too.
