Registration and privacy basics for Barnwell

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
• 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
