The government has recently issued new legislation
extending the requirements for companies and
Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) to provide
certain particulars about themselves on their
websites and in electronic versions of all
documents.
The new legislation became effective from
1 January 2007 and there are penalties for
those who do not comply.
The changes mean that companies and LLPs must
disclose their name, place of registration,
registered number and the address of their
registered office on their websites. This information
must already be included on business letters
and order forms. The new legislation extends
the requirements to include this information
to such documents in electronic format. As
so many of us now conduct business correspondence
by email, this has implications for the amount
of information that must be included.
Please do get in touch if you want any more
clarification on this.
