Before you publish: rules that apply in Wales
Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points are worth checking:
- A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.

Can I have an email address with my business name?
Email on your own domain comes with the plan, such as info@yourbusiness: unlimited accounts, 5 GB of storage in total, webmail and spam filtering.
I also work in Gorseinon. Can the website show that?
Of course. Email us the places you serve (for example Gorseinon, Grovesend and Bryn, Carmarthenshire) and they go on a service area page.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that open fast.
