Is your stationery breaking the law?

Wed September 17 2008, 10:22:00

New laws are now in force which require companies and limited liability partnerships to make sure that their legal name is stated in legible lettering on all letters, order forms, invoices, receipts, websites and emails. Check now. Are you complying with the law?

It doesn’t stop there. You’re also breaking the law if your letterheads don’t have the following printed on them:

• Your place of registration (ie England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland)
• Your company registration number
• Your registered office address

It’s not really in our interest for our customers to be in jail, so please check that you’re not a Larry Law-breaker. If you are, we won’t tell - just stop using your old letterheads and get some new ones printed sharpish!
