ShopSmart Ltd.
 PROFILE
Smart shoppers check prices online. ShopSmart runs one of the UK's most visited Web sites, a directory of online shopping. More than 2,000 e-commerce sites are reviewed and rated. Those listed have not paid for inclusion. PriceScan software allows price comparison on some categories of goods, including books and music CDs. Revenue comes from site advertising and sponsorship. From its original base in the UK, ShopSmart has expanded into Sweden and Germany. The firm was launched in 1998 as ShopGuide by Martin Reeves and Leo and Daniel Gestetner (great-grandsons of the founders of the Gestetner photocopier empire). In 2001 ShopSmart was bought by IndigoSquare, an e-tailing joint venture between Nomura and Barclays Bank. The two companies plan to combine into a so far unnamed new entity.
