What England asks of a business online

Some homework for Bishops Wood businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
