Searching for lost shares on Google is frustrating. If you type “Who is the registrar for British Gas?”, you will get millions of results about energy bills, boiler repairs, and customer service.

You won’t find the answer you need: Equiniti.

The “Company Chaos” Problem The UK stock market is a graveyard of old names.

• British Steel became Corus, which became Tata.
• Alliance & Leicester was bought by Santander.
• Thomson Travel became TUI.

If you search for the old name on the Stock Exchange today, you get a “Not Found” error.

How Divica Solves It We have built a proprietary “Corporate Lineage” Database. We don’t just list companies that exist today; we map the DNA of companies that used to exist.

• Smart Redirection: If you search for “Cadbury,” our system knows you actually need “Mondelez.”
• Registrar Matching: We track which of the “Big 3” registrars (Equiniti, Link, Computershare) holds the records right now. (Contracts change hands frequently—we keep track so you don’t have to).
• De-Listing Alerts: We flag companies that have gone private (like Royal Mail/IDS in 2025) so you don’t waste time trying to sell them on the open market.

Divica acts as a translator between the paperwork in your attic and the digital reality of the modern stock market.
