January 2007
New EU Regulation – don’t get caught out
With effect from 1st January 2007, all UK limited companies and limited liability partnerships must now include prescribed company information on all their websites and emails.
What does this mean?
This means that all the statutory information that was only previously required on your letterhead and order forms, must now also feature on all emails and company websites.
What information is required?
The new regulations stipulate that the following information must be ‘mentioned’:
- the company’s full name including the word “limited” unless specially
exempted, in which case it must state that it is a limited company,
- the company’s place of registration,
- the company’s registered number, and
- the address of the company’s registered office
What does mentioned entail?
For emails we would recommend that you incorporate a small footer to every email sent out by your employees and also any direct marketing email campaigns.
For websites, either a panel on the homepage incorporating the information or a link on the homepage to a page setting out the information should suffice.
If you have any questions relating to this new regulation, please do not hesitate to contact your account team.
