A company's business stationery, including electronic equivalents such as electronic order forms, invoices and your website, must include the company's full name, place of registration, registered company number and registered address. This applies even if you trade under a different business name. You do not have to show the names of the directors. However, if you choose to include the name of any of the directors, you must include the names of all the directors.
If you are a sole trader, your business stationery must include your name, any business name you trade under, and a business address.
If you are a partnership, your stationery must include the names of all the partners and your principal business address. (If there are more than 20 partners, the stationery can instead state that a list of partners can be inspected at that address).
In all cases, if you are registered for VAT, any invoices must also carry your VAT number.
If your business is regulated - for example, if you are an accountant, solicitor or financial intermediary - your stationery may also be required to carry additional regulatory statements.
