Companies to update websites and emails before 2007

You can locate the original news item here.

An article published on The Register (21st December 2006) outlined regulatory changes that will effect UK business email. From 1st January 2007, companies in the UK will be required to include certain regulatory information on all business email.

This update to the Companies Act requires you to clearly present the following information on your business emails:
  • Company Registration Number
  • Place of registration (e.g. England & Wales)
  • Registered office address

The article, which was written by Outlaw.com outlined how businesses failing to include this information will be in breach of the Companies Act and this can result in a fine. The article also mentions the UK Ecommerce Regulation requirement to include the same information on websites.

I have already updated my email signature to include the necessary information and am making changes to my website shortly. Is your information up to date? If not, make the changes now so that you don't incur a fine!

Until next time,
