The legal basics for Trowell businesses online
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
Before you sign up: common questions

Yes. Customers from across Broxtowe search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Do I need professional photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.

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.
