Hi Neil, several problems

You need to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. You gave some references to good sources, but two were reporting interviews with you, and the other two seem to be to a subscription site. There is really nothing factual to demonstrate notability. How many transactions? How much does it raise for your company. How many people work on it? Actually, I've just noticed that the last "in the papers" could source the profit, better if it was a free access source though.
It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: uniquely... property has been transacted by Clicktopurchase® on behalf of institutions, receivers, banks and property companies...
Using ® at all, let alone every occasion, is a sure sign that this is company self-promotion, even if you hadn't been transparent with your user name.
Finalist, Newcomer of the Year, Property Awards 2011 definitely needs a ref.
The "In the Press" section is problematic. Firstly, some don't have a link to on-line text, which makes them pointless. As for the others, if they are adding something new, it should be in the text and used as a reference. Otherwise it's just puffery (unless it included negative reports)
For balance, you should mention competitors.
You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

I've seen worse than this, but you will appreciate that an article about a commercial enterprise receives greater a level of scrutiny that given to other articles. If you decide to have another go, I'd suggest using [url description] instead of bare urls, eg Tel Aviv investor secures pioneering online deal. I assume you have saved the original text, if not, let me know and I'll sandbox it for you Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:53, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I made these edits. Some MoS, added links, lose very short SA section, lose spammy awards heading, reduce repetition of company name. I would suggest that you format the external links as [url description], like the refs, for legibility.

You just need then to put the categories back, and use the "Move" button to take it back to article space. There's no guarantee that it will survive, but it has a better chance than first time out Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:50, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Neil and thanks for your comment. Certainly I don't think Property Week is an unbiased or poor source, but it's only one source. When it comes to starting an article on a corporation, this is our guideline:

The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability.

To this is added: "Different articles in the same newspaper is still one source (one publisher)." Another crucial statement is:

Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary.

This is to establish basic standards and make articles that other editors can review and maintain after they are published. Shii (tock) 15:35, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
