The
rules regarding business stationery have changed, but remarkably little
publicity has been given to the fact! From 1st January 2007 the following
applies to business stationery whether in hard copy, electronic or any other
form:
A
company must state its name, in legible lettering, on all:
-
the company's business letters, order forms;
-
its notices and other official publications;
-
bills of exchange, promissory notes, endorsements, cheques and orders for money
or goods purporting to be signed by, or on behalf of, the company;
-
its bills of parcels, invoices, receipts and letters of credit;
-
its websites
Furthermore, on all of its business letters, order forms or web sites, the
company must show (in legible lettering) its:
-
place of registration
-
registered number
-
registered office address
And if it is being wound up, that fact must be stated.
Emails
Whenever an email is used where its paper equivalent would be covered by the
stationery requirements, then that email is also subject to the same
requirements. |
