Doing business in Yate

The South Gloucestershire local authority area grew by 5.1% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 305,766 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Yate business gets onto that first list.

Rules to know before your Yate website goes live

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

• 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
• 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

General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
