More Business Link confusion

[malcolmcoles]

Business Link website advice makes my head hurt with its madness, as I've said before (http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=108905) (with more here (http://www.malcolmcoles.co.uk/blog/business-link-advice-completely-wrong/)). But can someone explain this page to me:
http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?type=RESOURCES&itemId=1073791759

When they say company in the first section, do they in fact mean business? Ie this bit:
They should also include the following:

a unique identification number
your company name, address and contact information
the company name and address of the customer you are invoicing
What sort of company do they mean when they say 'your company name'? They go on to talk about additional requirements for limited companies further down the page. Should this first bit say 'your business' instead of 'your company'?

Yes you are correct it should say "your business" not "your company".

The basic information required to be shown on invoices is the same whatever the type of business with a few additional details required for certain businesses (e.g. the company registration number needs to be shown in the case of a limited company.

I hope this helps.

Now if we can just get the Business Link to update their pages, no one else need be confused ...

If you knew the number of people that call themselves "Director" when they are a sole trader.............

Very true - you see it on here all the time

No reason why BusinessLink should get it wrong though!
