What England asks of a business online

Some homework for Rolleston on Dove businesses before the website goes live:

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