"If you always do, what you've always done, you'll always get, what you've always got".

Limited companies, are your email and websites compliant?

The First Company Law Amendment Directive - a European law being incorporated into UK law - means that as a limited company you are now required to display more information on your website and company emails. Those who don’t comply risk being fined.

So what do you have to do I hear you ask? As of the 1st January 2007, you are required to include the following in all business emails:

  • company registration number,
  • place of registration (e.g. Registered in England ad Wales)
  • the registered office address.

On the website you are required to include:

  • The name, postal address and email address of the website’s service provider.
  • The name of any trade body or professional associations the business is part of, including membership or registration details.
  • Your VAT number, even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.
  • Any prices on the website must clearly state whether they are inclusive or exclusive of tax and delivery costs.

Make sure you don’t find out the hard way by getting fined!
