Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
- You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
- 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

Answers for South West business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 949 people?
Your market is bigger than Lelant. People across Cornwall look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
Will customers in Hayle and Carbis Bay see that I serve them?
Of course. Email us the places you serve (for example Hayle, Carbis Bay and St Erth) and they go on a service area page.
What do I need to send?
Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send your material and any changes, and you review the website on a temporary link before it goes live.
Is there a minimum contract?
No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
