The Babergh local authority area had 4,725 local business units in 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across England, with what each one’s website should show:

• Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (460): the services they offer and where and before-and-after photos.
• Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers (160): the services and who they are for and office address and hours.
• Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses (75): memberships and prices and how to get in touch.

Running a business website from Nayland: the rules

Putting your business online brings no special licence, 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
• 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
