Legal Update: Website Requirements

From the business link website:

The Companies Act 1985 already requires the company’s name to appear clearly in all its business letters, cheques and other documents. And, from 1 January 2007, a company’s name should also appear clearly on all its websites. Also, the company’s business letters, order forms and websites have to include fuller particulars, namely:

  • the company’s place of registration and registered number
  • the address of its registered office
  • in the case of an investment company, the fact that it is such a company
  • in the case of a limited company exempt from the obligation to use the word “limited” in its name, the fact that it is a limited company

All these requirements apply whether the document is in hard copy or electronic or any other form.
