Paperwork and rules for East Midlands businesses online
Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:
- You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, tell us in the sign-up and we will help you pick one, by email.
