- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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
- Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine.
