A closer look at Bordon

The East Hampshire local authority area grew by 2.9% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 129,865 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Bordon business gets onto that first list.

Terraced streets mean close neighbours and a lot of word of mouth. A website backs that up: it is where people check your hours, confirm your details and share your link with the house next door.

The legal basics for Bordon businesses online

Some homework for Bordon businesses before the website goes live:

• 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 cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• 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.
