What England asks of a business online
Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:
- 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
- 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
Details vary by business, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
