Do you run a limited company? We\u00a0thought it might be handy to have\u00a0a quick reminder concerning the\u00a0rules associated with signs, stationery and promotional material for your business.<\/p>\n

Signage – clear, there and everywhere
\n<\/strong>You must clearly display a sign that shows your company name at the registered company address and wherever your business operates. However, if\u00a0you run your business from home, you don’t need to display a sign there.<\/p>\n

Any signage needs to be easy to read and visible at all times, even outside of opening hours.<\/p>\n

\"Tremaines-Signage\"<\/p>\n

Stationery & Promotional Material – don’t forget the small print
\n<\/strong>Any company documents, letters and publicity need to include your company’s name.<\/p>\n

On business letters, order forms and websites, you must display:<\/p>\n

– the company’s registered number
\n– its registered office address
\n– where the company is registered (England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland)
\n– the fact that it’s a limited company (you usually do so by spelling out the company’s full name included ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’.)<\/p>\n

Should you wish to include directors’ names, you need to list all of them.<\/p>\n

If you want to show your company’s \u00a0share capital (how much the shares were worth when you issued them), you need to say how much is ‘paid up’, (owned by shareholders).<\/p>\n

These guidelines have been taken from the gov.uk website<\/a> and are current as of 18\/11\/2015.<\/p>\n

Wondering what rules apply for partnerships and sole traders?\u00a0Find out more about those in our post:\u00a0Partnerships & Sole Traders: Signage, Stationery & Promotional Material.<\/a><\/p>\n
