Before you publish: rules that apply in England
Some homework for Bouldnor 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
