The East Devon local authority area had 7,860 local business units in 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across England, with what each one’s website should show:
- Farms and agricultural businesses (940 sites): seasonal opening times and what they grow or raise.
- Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (640 sites): the services they offer and where and a quote form that lands in their inbox.
- Clubs, charities and community groups (120 sites): how to join or volunteer and upcoming events.

- 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
