Before you publish: rules that apply in Wales
Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:
- 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
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
