Website Legal Requirements Check
Check your website has the legal pages and disclosures UK law requires.
Why this matters
UK law requires every business website to display certain information, regardless of size: company details under the Companies Act 2006 and Electronic Commerce Regulations 2002, a privacy policy under UK GDPR, cookie disclosures under PECR, and accessible terms of use. Many small business websites are built quickly from templates and miss these basics entirely.
Missing legal pages aren’t just a compliance gap — they undermine customer trust, can invalidate your terms of business in a dispute, and leave you exposed if a regulator or a customer complaint draws attention to your site. Trading Standards and the ICO do act on complaints from the public, and putting these pages in place is usually quick and low-cost compared to the risk of not having them.
What you'll need
- Access to your website (to check existing pages)
- Your company registration details (company number, registered address)
- Knowledge of what cookies/tracking your site uses (e.g. Google Analytics, ad pixels)
- Your business contact details (email, phone, address)
What you'll get
A personalised compliance report covering: a score out of 100, an executive summary, a list of findings ranked by severity, and a prioritised action plan with timeframes.
This check reviews your website against the core legal requirements for UK business sites and flags any missing pages or disclosures.
