sole trader and distance selling

[evinc10]

I want to set up a subscription web site but am not sure if I need to setup a limited company first or if I can operate as a sole trader to test the water. Do regulations require a regristration business number on the trading website?

No, but if you have one you are advised to show it as it makes you look more professional. Online selling is about trust.
