Displaying Ltd company number on website pages

[kevin555]

Hi all

Just become Ltd company and wondering whether this might help me look more 'professional' in the eyes of my customers if I display company name and number etc at the foot of each web page.

I have the info in our contact us section and T&C but am looking at this more from a conversion standpoint.

Any thoughts?

Not really. If anything, someone might check the number and see how new you are and maybe decided to go with an established company.

Just put full address and phone number, that makes people feel safer.

We've been in business since 2004 - just 'transferring' from sole trader to limited company.

Unless I received the wrong information when I started out, I believe that it is a legal requirement of the companies act to display both your number and registered address on the site:)

Good luck with the "transfer."

Yes it is a legal requirement to have the info on the site but, from what I read, not on every web page.

I have the info in T&Cs, contact us and about us pages but I'm wondering whether the info might help reassure customers if it was on the product pages also, i.e. make us look like a big company in their mind rather than just another small trader.

Company number wise, I had no idea. I best add it to mine. Learn something new every day!

I have it in the footer of every page. You have to display it on all written communications and emails so you may as well put it at the foot of every webpage too. I am sure it makes you look more professional and more importantly that you have nothing to hide.

I think you have to display your registered office address too.

I can't really see how it could really hurt - and who knows that little bit of extra reassurance might help with the odd sale
