Hi
I am about to initially launch a community website and regional search engine & web directory, which will hopefully generate income through ads and other means discussed here. I intend later to make more sites.
I do not expect to generate much money for a while to come, but of course hope things will change. I am based in Germany, but my colleague is over there in the UK. Since there seems to be a lot of bureaucracy here, we are considering registering our sites in the UK. My question to those running some is: what paperwork is needed before going into business?
Specifically which authorities eg. but not exclusively in the area of tax, must be contacted?
In Germany, any money generating site must have a page called "Impressum" which must have the contact address/tel. of the runner of the site, tax ID Nr., including where it was issued, etc.
Is there any such obligation for UK based sites?
I had written the Liverpool chamber of commerce office (where my unfortunately very busy partner is located) requesting some of this information, but it seems they will not reply.
I would be very grateful to get the required information.
Thanks in advance
