- Hair and beauty salons and other personal services (605 sites): how to book by email or phone and opening hours.

Paperwork and rules for North East businesses online
Some homework for Trimdon businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
