Check your website details or risk a fine
A Nottingham law firm is warning companies they risk being fined unless they ensure that their websites and emails contain specific information now required under new regulations.
Andrew Kelly, of Anderson Solicitors, says the regulations are to comply with a European directive and came into force on January 1 this year.
“The information that firms have always had to put on hard copy documents is now required on electronic communications as well.”
“A company has to state its name, its place of registration and registration number, and the address of its registered office on its websites, business emails and electronic order forms.”
The regulations were introduced to incorporate the European First Company Law Amendment Directive, into UK law.

Free help for new businesses
Budding entrepreneurs will be able to get expert advice on starting a new business at a free exhibition being held at the Council House in Nottingham.
The New Business New Life event delivered by Business Link, is being sponsored by several leading companies including Andersons Solicitors, Barclays and Page Kirk accountants to name a few.
The New Business New Life campaign aims to increase the number of new businesses in the East Midlands by providing people with a wealth of helpful information, support and advice right at the outset.
Peter Sutherland, new business start-up partner at Andersons, said "many businesses start with a wave of enthusiasm but then start to falter as they hit unexpected hurdles. Many of these pitfalls can be avoided if people do their homework first."
"If they attend the exhibition they will get a New Business New Life starter pack. They will also be able to get free advice from experts in all areas of business and talk to people who have actually set up their own companies."
The exhibition takes place between 10am and 4pm at Nottingham Council House in Old Market Square on February 3rd. Simply drop-in on the day or pre-register on www.newbusiness-newlife.com or call 0845 155 0 144, and be automatically entered into a prize draw to win a laptop computer.
