Paperwork and rules for South East businesses online

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 cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
