Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
