    There are cybersquatters buying up web addresses to sell on in the hope
    of great profit, and there are agencies who will help you sell your
    company as a going concern

    There seems to be a hole in the middle - sale of a good company name

    I have had Electronic Services Ltd for years (bought for a particular
    reason at the time, but never traded) - I would have thought that
    someone might be willing to buy it for some quids, but I have no idea
    where to look

    Does anyone have any ideas ?

    You should have used it as a redirect to ferrari or something

    They'd soon have lapped it up

    No point. If I wanted to use that name I'd set up Off The Shelf
    Company Name Ltd T/A Electronic Services.

    My guess is you'd lose - the T/A name would probably be considered
    close enough to count as passing off.

    Doubt it, not specific enough. There are loads of companies called K2.
