As a UK registered business, you will need to disclose certain information about your company on your website. This is a legal requirement. Failure to comply can result in fines, action taken by the customers or consumer protection bodies, as well as damage to your reputation.

Is your business website legal?
You must display registered information relating to the identity of your business. This includes:

  • company name
  • registered number
  • place of registration
  • registered office address
  • contact details, including an email address
  • details of how to contact business by non-electronic means
  • the VAT number of business, if applicable
  • details of any trade body or regulator registration
For sole traders and partnership, you must display the address of the principle place of business. If the company is being wound up, you must also display this on your website.
