Registration and privacy basics for Stoney Stratton

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
  • 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

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
