NEW companies act 2006 - Make sure your website and emails are compliant!
Latest information on the companies act 2006 which came into effect 1st January 2007
We have been asked by many of our customers about the new Companies Act 2006 which came into effect as of the 1st January 2007.
The new regulations extend the existing obligations to include your company name, registered address and company number onto the following:
- Order forms
- All websites
It is also recommended that you include your company information in ALL email correspondence.
As with all legal requirments, failure to comply with the regulations is liable to a fine!
Note
With regards to the websites, it is unclear as to what the requirement is as to whether your complete company details need to be on every page of the website or simply located in a relevant, easy to find location e.g. your about us page, contact page or just on your home page of your website.
