Rules to know before your Pendeen website goes live

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

• 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
