Cornwall businesses and what their websites need

• Restaurants, cafés and pubs (2,255): photos of the dishes and the room and how to book a table or a private event by email.
• Manufacturers and engineering workshops (140): capabilities and equipment and industries they serve.
• Builders and renovation firms (1,490): how a quote request works and photos of finished projects, room by room.

Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online

Some homework for St Blazey businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling
