Wales rules for a business with a website

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

  • 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
  • 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

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
