Who is in business in Shropshire

Of the 18,080 business sites counted in the Shropshire local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

  • Farms and agricultural businesses (3,115 sites): seasonal opening times and where to buy their products.
  • Car dealers and motor trade businesses (660 sites): current stock with photos and service and repair hours.
  • Manufacturers and engineering workshops (145 sites): industries they serve and capabilities and equipment.
  • Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (185 sites): how to get there and rates by season.
  • Veterinary practices (95 sites): opening hours and emergency details and the vets.

Among the most common trades: 95 veterinary practices, 240 hairdressing and beauty businesses and 265 plumbing and heating installers. Most are small: 86.2% employ fewer than ten people. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to get in touch.

Registration and privacy basics for Stanmore

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

  • 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
  • You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
  • 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

Your market is bigger than Stanmore. People across Shropshire look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.

My customers come from Bridgnorth and Alveley as well. Can I say so?

Yes. A section on the site can name Bridgnorth, Alveley, Highley and any other place you work in; email us the list and we add it.

Do we need to meet?

Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before it goes live.

Can customers order from my website?

Yes. Choose an online shop in the sign-up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.

Do I need professional photos?

Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.

Unlimited accounts on your domain, within 5 GB of total storage, plus webmail and spam filtering, all in the £69 plan.
