New Internet Legislation

[kwatt]

I was sent this by my accountant a few weeks ago and, since I finally managed to remember to scan it in…

There has been a recent change in the law taking effect on the beginning of January which affects Limited Companies and LLPs that have a website.
The four checks that need to be made to make sure your company is complying with the legislation and therefore avoids any penalties that may be raised are listed below:

1 Ensure the company’s website and order forms include the company name registered at Companies House as well as any trading name. Most sites will already include this.

2 Check that the company’s website includes the place of registration, registered number and the registered office details of the company. Many sites will not include this information, so it may need to be added.

3 If the company’s details have been submitted to the websites such as trade directory sites or portals and the information is under the company’s control; provide the additional information to those sites.

4 If the company sends business correspondence electronically (eg by email of fax), check that email templates, fax cover sheets and any other electronic templates (including in Blackberrys) include the required information. This may be achieved by copying the statuary information currently on your company’s letterhead into the relevant e-templates

Worth knowing about and possibly of use to some.
