A combination of that and the Companies Act 2006.
I think "information society service" is generally interpreted to
include advertising your services on a website.
http://www.out-law.com/page-7594 and http://www.out-law.com/page-431
expand, and yes, the laws do cover websites where you just advertise
your services. You need an e-mail address (not a "contact us" form),
a geographic
address and company/VAT numbers.
Most sites don't show e-mail address's to prevent spam. Can't offhand think
of a company that does display and e-mail address. Just checked Wickes &
Screwfix & they both use a form.
Not limited or VAT registered so I don't have numbers.
I'll ask Trading Standards.
