JW Group / Jamie Wale

Options
If you're tempted to use Jamie Wale's JW Group whose website is https://www.jwgroup.co be careful.

Apart breaking the law by not displaying a business address on his website you might want to consider doing business with someone who has this kind of contempt for your personal details.

    Companies Act. Chapter 6 (82) : http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/pdfs/ukpga_20060046_en.pdf

    Companies house take a dim view on companies not displaying their registed company details


    Further to that :

    Displaying a limited company or LLP name


    You must display a sign with your company or LLP name:
    • in characters that can be easily read
    • in a place where visitors can easily and clearly see it at any time and not just during business hours
    • continuously
    You must also include your company's or LLP's registered name on all hard copy and electronic business correspondence and documents including:
    • letters, notices and other official publications
    • emails
    • bills of exchange, promissory notes, endorsements and order forms
    • cheques signed by or on behalf of the company
    • orders for money, goods or services signed by or on behalf of the company
    • bills of parcels, invoices and other demands for payment, receipts and letters of credit
    • your website - you do not need to include the company name on every page but it must be displayed so it can be easily read
    Information you must display


    On all business letters, order forms and websites, you must display:
    • the place of registration
    • the registered number
    • the address of registered office
    • the fact that it is a limited company or LLP
    • the amount of paid up share capital, if you have chosen to display your share capital
    • information if the company or LLP is being wound up
    You do not have to state directors' names on business letters unless you want to do so. However, if you do decide to include directors' names, then you must state all the directors' names.
    If you are an LLP with more than 20 members
    You may click thanks if you found my advice useful

    What a lovely character. Hopefully Karma catches up with him.
