Rules to know before your Millbrook website goes live
Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points often come up:
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.

Answers for South West business owners
Millbrook is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Cornwall search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Which platform do you use?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
I also work in Torpoint. Can the website show that?
Yes. We add a list of the towns you serve, Torpoint and Saltash included, and keep the contact form on every page.
Can I cancel?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
How long until my website is ready?
The first version is ready within 3 working days, on a temporary link. Publication on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
