                  For release at 7.00am on 15 February 2001

                      COUNTYWeb.com PLC (the 'Company')

                          Agreement with Equifax plc

COUNTYWeb.com PLC, the innovative UK interactive business directory network,
has entered into an agreement with Equifax Plc to market Equifax credit
information directly via the COUNTYWeb.com network.

The new service will enable visitors to the COUNTYWeb network to access and
purchase single or multiple credit reports created by COUNTYWeb using Equifax
data. Utilising Equifax's extensive commercial databases, COUNTYWeb will be
able to provide its users with access to information on over 1.5 million
limited companies and nearly 1.4 million non-limited businesses. The reports
will range from a basic Credit Report at £16.00 to a Full Report at £32.00.

COUNTYWeb believes that this agreement will provide its users with a very
efficient means of accessing UK company credit reports, as well as providing
Equifax with a new distribution channel for both existing and new customers.
Available 24/7, Equifax Credit Reports from COUNTYWeb will provide valuable
intelligence to determine the financial status of new customers for UK
businesses as well as providing a valuable source of online data for foreign
companies researching customers in the UK.

Equifax is the largest supplier of consumer and business risk and marketing
information in the world. Equifax hold extensive databases on over 12 million
companies, and the people behind those companies worldwide, enabling millions
of commercial transactions between businesses to be conducted safely every
year.

COUNTYWeb's MD William Catchpole said: 'With the large increase in traffic
that COUNTYWeb's web sites are generating, we believe a good proportion of
users will find the UK company credit reports immensely useful. Plus they will
have the added reassurance of using information provided by such an
established brand as Equifax'.

William Catchpole also stated that 'we are pleased with the company's
performance in the current year. Our 48-seat call-centre is fully manned,
sales are running at forecast levels and costs are under control allowing the
cash balance to be well within the planned range. Our national radio
advertising campaign is also proving successful with site page
impressionscurrently running at three times the level of a year ago'.
