Registration and privacy basics for Cheselbourne

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

  • 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
