What England asks of a business online

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

Three steps to a website for your Bunbury business

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Bunbury as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
