Your website as a minimum must have the following information as a legal requirement.

  • If you are a company you must show the registered office.

  • You must show the companies registration number and the place of registration.

  • If you are a member of a professional body or trade organization you must provide details.

  • Any prices on your website must state clearly if the are inclusive of VAT and delivery costs.
  • Your business name, geographic address (PO Box is not sufficient) and email address. 

    Your name must be the name of the business that your potential customers will contract with  You might have a ‘trading name’ but you must explain this clearly.

  • You must show your VAT number even if your website is not ecommerce enabled.
