UK letterhead printing legal requirements – what you need to know

It’s easy to focus on design when creating your business stationery and letterheads, but did you know there are some important UK letterhead legal requirements to follow?

Avoid costly mistakes and make sure you get it right the first time.

Here’s what to consider:

The Companies Act (UK letterhead legal requirements) states that all registered businesses must display the following information on their business letterhead:

• Your full registered company name
• The registered company number and place of registration
• The company registered address and the address of its place of business, if different

In some industries, your regulator or trade body information may also be required. For instance, businesses within the financial services sector may need to state that they are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

It’s worth checking with your industry body to make sure you aren’t missing anything crucial as failure to comply with any of the requirements could lead to a penalty fine.

Now the above only applies if you are registered as a limited company. However, there are other requirements to follow depending on the structure of your business. We will cover those below.

Sole trader legal requirements

If you operate as a sole trader, you can either trade under your own name or you can choose a different business name. If you choose a name that is not your own name, you must include your own name and the business address on all letterheads and order forms. For example, Brinkworth Signs & Graphics is a trading name of Aron Chorley.

Partnership legal requirements

If you are a partnership business, your letterheads, invoices, receipts, and order forms must include the name of all partners and your main office address.

If your business has a large number of partners then it is also acceptable to state where a list of partners may be found.

Charities and non-profits legal requirements

Charitable companies whose name does not include the words ‘charity’ or ‘charitable’ must state the fact that it is a charity on its stationary.
