The legal basics for Penisa’r Waun businesses online
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
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
