Wales rules for a business with a website
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Wales:
- 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
