Companies in the UK must now include certain information on their website and in their email footer by law, or face a fine.
"Every company should list its company registration number, place of registration and registered office address on its website as a result of an update to the legislation of 1985. The information, which must be in legible characters, should also appear on order forms and in emails. Such information is already required on 'business letters' but the duty is being extended to websites, order forms and electronic documents."
The changes also affect the display of pricing and trade or membership details.
