Company Details on your Website

Posted on October 4, 2008 by Giles

Since 1st January 2007, every company in the UK must provide corporate details on its websites and in all emails that it sends.

The details you must display on both your website and on emails are:

  • the company name (if this is different from the trading name then the difference should be made clear)
  • the registered office address of the company
  • the registration number and country of registration

The details you must make available on your website are:

  • an email address where the company can be contacted (this is not needed on emails from the company)
  • membership of any trade or professional association including the registration number
  • the VAT number if VAT registered.

Make sure your website and email signatures are up to date right away.

ContractStore offers a website privacy policy for use on your website – and a pack of documents for online retailers containing all the legal docs you need.
