  • Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers (480 sites): the team with qualifications and office address and hours.
  • Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses (250 sites): memberships and prices and photos of the facilities.

England rules for a business with a website

Some homework for Broadwell businesses before the website goes live:

  • 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 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

General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
