Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online

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
• 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
• 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
