You must comply with the law when you have a website and one of the easiest things to fall fowl to is missing off your address, to illustrate this here is the reply you get when attempting to submit a site to our business directory if you don’t put an address on your website.
Thanks for suggesting that we list your website within our directory. We list such websites where they are based, irrespective of area covered, but we can’t find this information on your website. If you ever add it, preferably by adding an address to a Contact Us page, please resubmit your website to the corresponding category. You might not be familiar with current UK legislation on this matter. We are courteously explaining why we won’t list it in it’s current form and what you need to do to make it acceptable to us and in UK law. There’s a good summary here:
1, Include the name the company / individual that you are acting as need to be stated on the website. Its possible that this is not your trading name so you need to state that your website name is the trading name of your Limited company name.
2 You need to include your main email address. If you have a ‘contact us’ form you need to include the email address also.
3 Your registered business address
4 If you are a limited company, the registration number needs to be given, you can check yours online at companies house website.
5 Membership details of trade or professional associations
6 Give your VAT number, if you have one
7 Prices (if given) should be stated clearly, additionally prices need to be indicated if they include or not include tax and delivery. Basically don’t hide any costs.
8 Place of registration should be stated (e.g. “Delicious Webdesign Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 5858585”).
