England rules for a business with a website
Putting your business online does not change the rules, but a few rules 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
- 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

Do I need professional photos?
A logo, some photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.
