Electronic business communication - new laws

New rules regarding electronic communications for all Limited companies
Limited companies in the UK must include certain regulatory information on their websites and in their e-mails from 1 January this year or risk breaching the Companies Act 1985. Every company now has to list its registration number, place of registration and registered office address in legible characters on its website. The information must also appear in e-mails and online order forms. This data is already required on business letters but the duty has been extended to websites, order forms and electronic documents by an amendment to the law. Legal news service Out-Law has published a brief guide to the new rules at: http://www.out-law.com/page-7594
To avoid being caught out, why not create a signature for your outgoing e-mails? This will add the required information to every e-mail without any need for you to remember or do anything.
See my entry on the Saratoga Blog for instructions on how to create an e-mail signature.
