Registration and privacy basics for Harden
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
- 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.
