Smart Business Supplies Ltd, company number 09139420, was dissolved on 3 December 2024. That is recorded on Companies House, the public register that holds the filing history of every company incorporated in the United Kingdom, and it is a matter of public record.

If you were looking for a live supplier

A dissolved company stops filing accounts, stops trading and stops answering the number or inbox it once used. If a search for Smart Business Supplies brought you here, that is most likely why: the company itself is no longer operating, whatever address or contact details you may have found for it elsewhere.

No connection is implied

Leopardess Business Supplies is a separate business. We are not the same company under a new name, we did not take over its contracts or its customers, and nothing on this site should be read as continuing what Smart Business Supplies Ltd was doing before it closed.

What we can offer instead is a way to find a current supplier for whatever you were buying from them, using the directory and the pricing guide.

If you bought from the dealer that used to trade at this address, you still need somewhere to buy toner, paper, catering supplies or workwear from. Finding a replacement is a matter of two things: knowing what you actually spend, and checking who's still trading before you commit to them.

Start with what you were actually buying

Before you search for a new supplier, list what you were ordering and roughly how often: toner and paper, catering disposables, PPE, chairs and screens, or a mix. A supplier who's good for office consumables isn't necessarily set up for catering or safety equipment, so this list decides where you look first.

Check who's still trading

The directory lists suppliers by what they're actually good for, and each entry carries the date its trading status was last checked against its company record. That date matters more than it sounds: a supplier can look fine on a website that hasn't been updated in months, so knowing when someone actually checked is worth more than the claim itself.

Work out what you should be paying

Once you have a shortlist, the question shifts from who to how much. List price is the number a supplier quotes when there's no relationship behind the order, and almost nobody ends up paying it once volume or a contract is on the table. The pricing guide walks through how dealer margin, order volume and contract terms move a quote away from that starting number, so you can tell a fair offer from a first offer.

If print was part of what you bought

Where the previous supplier handled a printer or photocopier on a contract, replacing it is a different job to replacing a box of paper. A managed print service (MPS) bundles the machine, the toner and a click charge (a per-page cost on top of the machine and consumables) into one agreement, and the terms that decide what it actually costs you, minimum volumes, click-charge increases, what happens to the machine at the end, are covered in the managed-print contract guide before you sign anything new.

Where compliance is part of the order

If any of what you bought falls under a legal requirement, PPE and workwear, or seating and screens under a display screen equipment assessment, check the relevant guide before you pick a replacement supplier on price alone. The PPE and workwear guide and the DSE assessment guide set out what's required in the United Kingdom, so you know what a new supplier needs to meet.
