Before you publish: rules that apply in Wales

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 has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
