Paperwork and rules for East Midlands businesses online

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
• 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
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices

From sign-up to launch, for Creaton businesses

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. It all runs online, so a Creaton business gets the same plan as anyone.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
