In the state of Oklahoma, the Secretary of State is in charge of
registering business names.  It maintains a database of all names
registered in the state.  I would assume that the UK government would
have a similar office somewhere which might  even have an internet
presence.  Private companies that provide this kind of research
information generally charge a hefty fee, so the place to start would
be at your government.
