England rules for a business with a website

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

  • 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
  • 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

Yes. Email us the towns you serve (say Hextable, Swanley and Joyden’s Wood) and we put them on a page of their own.

How fast can I see the website?

The first version is ready within 3 working days, on a temporary link. Going live on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
