What makes Roche different
In a small place, the customers who do not know you yet are often elsewhere in Cornwall. A website shows them what you offer before they make the trip.
Who is in business in Cornwall
Of the 29,950 business sites counted in the Cornwall local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

- Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets, 885 in Cornwall: the site should show how to get there and rates by season.
- Builders and renovation firms, 1,490 in Cornwall: the site should show how a quote request works and photos of finished projects, room by room.

The local count includes 250 accounting and auditing practices, 235 hotels and 615 vehicle maintenance and repair garages. Small firms dominate: 84.1% have fewer than ten staff, and 20.5% are sole proprietors.

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