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:
- 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
- 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.
