With 48.8% of households owning outright, there is money going into home improvements. Photos of finished jobs and the areas you work in are what homeowners check first.

• Estate agents and property managers (285): their contact details and a valuation request form.
• Builders and renovation firms (245): licences, insurance and warranty details and the areas they build in.
• Photographers, designers and creative studios (105): a portfolio and contact details.
• Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers (165): how a first consultation works and office address and hours.

England rules for a business with a website

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