- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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

Answers for Yorkshire and The Humber business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 1,439 people?
Yes. Customers from across North Yorkshire search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that load quickly.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes. The plan can be an online shop with a catalogue, a basket and online payment, for the same £69 a month.
I also work in Sutton-in-Craven. Can the website show that?
Of course. A section on the site can name Sutton-in-Craven, Cross Hills, Steeton and the rest of the places you cover; just send us the list by email.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
