What information is legally required on the website of a limited company?

Modified on: Tue, 21 Jul, 2020 at 12:37 PM

If your client's business is a limited company, their website must display the following:

The company’s registered number
The company's registered office address
Where the company is registered (England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland)
The fact that it’s a limited company (usually by spelling out the company’s full name including ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’)
If applicable, the VAT number and ICO registration will also need to be shown.

For example:

Spoton.net Limited, 167-169 Union Street, Torre, Torquay, Devon, TQ1 4BX

Company registration number (England & Wales): 06139437

VAT Number: 930929315 | ICO Registration: ZA343953

This information will typically be displayed in the footer of the website, so that it is visible on every page.
