About Touch Local
Touch Local operates an online business directory in the UK, where local businesses are listed and consumers search for services across categories such as trades, legal, health, travel and retail. It is part of the Scoot Network, which the company describes as powering business directories for Scoot, Touch Local, The Independent, The Sun and The Mirror.
Businesses can join the directory for free and can also buy paid services to improve their online visibility. The company states that the network has over 600,000 members and that 4,000 to 6,000 new businesses join each month.
Touch Local was founded in 1994 and is registered in London; it also has an office in Stockton-on-Tees. The company was listed in the Tech Track 100 for two consecutive years. It has announced that it will wind down in October 2026, after which its site and listings will no longer be available.
