The legal basics for Wyke businesses online

Some homework for Wyke 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
• 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
