What England asks of a business online
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- 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
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
