What makes Egham different

The Runnymede local authority area grew by 5.1% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 92,321 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how an Egham business gets onto that first list.

Residents in their twenties and early thirties (28.2% of Egham) expect to find a business online before they visit. If they cannot see your services and your address within seconds on a phone, they move on.

Working from home was common in Egham at Census 2021 (39.7% of working residents). People who work locally shop locally, and they look up businesses on their laptops between calls.

The legal basics for Egham businesses online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these points often come up:

• 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
• 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
