WEBSITE RULES
As we have been pretty busy with the new website recently, we were interested to receive this from a customer regarding rules and regulations on the Net. They told us….. “As from 1 Jan 07, new regulations came into force to extend the statutory requirement for companies to state information on their stationery and other documents. This has now been extended to websites, emails and other electronic communications. The Companies Act 1985 has been amended and it is now an offence, among other things, for a company incorporated in the Companies Act not to state the company name, place of registration, registration number and address of registered office on the company's website and all its business letters and orders forms that are in electronic form." :richie:

This was posted quite a while ago. And as it was said then, this only affects incorporated companies, who, tbh probably recieved some information from comapnies house.

Is the quote in the OP yet another quote from an American website who don't make it clear it's American because they don't realise;
a: There is a world outside the USA
b: If there is, they may just have different rules, regulations and laws.

Thinking of the old copyright Urban Myth about Fair Use that Americans insisted existed, clearly not realising the the entire planted doesn't come under US laws.

Yes, and if you incorporate a company it becomes Ltd.

Ask Angela for your certificate of incorporation.

But if you incorperate your company it becomes a Limited company (LTD)
An Incorprated company (INC) is the american term :sj:

We were talking about incorporating a company to become limited.

But you need to incorporate companies to make them limited, hence the phrase 'incorporated companies'

But we are Corabar Ltd. not Corabar Inc.

Are you Solitaire Entertainments Inc.?

Not funny anymore Steve.

I have a certificate of incorporation, which makes my company a Ltd Company.

Irelevant, it's still Ltd. not Inc.

I know that and no-one on here has said that it isn't.

We all know a company in this country which is incorporated is Ltd.

If its the Companies Act 1985 it applies to UK Companies.

Limited in his understanding of business law! A Ltd company in the UK is a company incorporated in this country under the Companies Act! It aint rocket science! In other countries they have different laws and different terms. In the USA it is Inc., Australia it is pte, in france it is SA etc etc.

They may be incorporated companies, but here in the UK once a company is incorporated it becomes known as a Limited company.



P.S. I was only doing it to wind Daz up, & I don't take kindly to having my intelligence questioned. I understand it perfectly, although due to Angela's legal background, I don't have to concern myself with such trifles.

I'm not aware of anyone actually questioning your intelligence, Steve, except maybe in jest - your ability to have a laugh at your own expense on the other hand...

I didn't know, and Companies House didn't tell me either.

Also, my Trade Association, which is meant to keep an eye on legislation and keep members up-to-date on legal requirements didn't tell me either.
