- Farms and agricultural businesses (3,530 sites): what they grow or raise and where to buy their products.
- Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (885 sites): the rooms with real photos and what is nearby.
- Builders and renovation firms (1,490 sites): licences, insurance and warranty details and how a quote request works.
- Restaurants, cafés and pubs (2,255 sites): how to book a table or a private event by email and photos of the dishes and the room.

England rules for a business with a website
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
- 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
- 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
