UK Companies - Information on Websites

[Tim Lodge]

One of my clients has drawn my attention to a new requirement for the websites of UK limited companies. It has AFAIK always been a requirement to have details of the company's registration on its stationary, but now that requirement extends to websites. As from 1 January 2007:

In addition, the company's business letters, order forms and websites have to include fuller particulars, i.e.
(a) the company's place of registration and the number with which it is registered,
(b) the address of its registered office,
(c) in the case of an investment company the fact that it is such a company, and
(d) in the case of a limited company exempt from the obligation to use the word "limited" as part of 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.

It's also necessary to show the VAT Registration Number.

Did anyone else know about this?
