Every business that produces, stores or disposes of waste has a duty of care under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and stays responsible after it hands the waste on. Use only registered waste carriers, complete waste transfer notes correctly, and follow the stricter rules for hazardous waste.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Right to work checks for hospitality employers

Before anyone starts work for you, including a trial shift, complete a right to work check, using the Home Office online service for anyone with digital status. A proper check protects you from a civil penalty of up to £45,000 per illegal worker, or £60,000 for repeat breaches.

Manage commercial waste in a hospitality business

You have a legal duty of care for all your waste, so hand it only to a registered carrier and complete a waste transfer note for every load. In England you must also separate food waste and dry recycling, and you need your water company's consent to discharge trade effluent to the sewer.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Accommodation regulations for hotels, B&Bs, and short-term lets

Anyone providing paid accommodation in the UK, from hotels to short-term lets, faces rules that depend on the nation. Scotland requires a short-term let licence, Wales requires registration by 31 March 2027, and England's registration scheme is not yet in force; everyone needs a fire risk assessment.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Separate food waste in Wales

Since 6 April 2024, every workplace in Wales producing 5 kilograms or more of food waste a week must keep it separate and have it collected separately. The rules cover restaurants, pubs, takeaways, manufacturers and staff kitchens alike. Food waste must not go down the sewer, and Natural Resources Wales enforces separation.

Take on a short-term space for a pop-up shop

Before you trade from a pop-up in England, get a written agreement that settles whether you hold a lease or a licence and who pays business rates. Check your use fits the unit's planning class, and carry out a fire risk assessment if you control the space.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Deposit return points for drinks retailers

From 1 October 2027, supermarkets, grocers, convenience stores and newsagents in England and Northern Ireland must charge a 20p deposit on in-scope drinks and, unless exempt, run a return point.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Fit alarms and protect deposits as a landlord in Scotland

If you let a home in Scotland, it must have interlinked smoke and heat alarms and a carbon monoxide alarm beside any carbon-fuelled appliance. Any deposit you take must go into an approved scheme within 30 working days, or a tribunal can order you to pay the tenant up to three times the deposit.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Meet alarm, electrical and HMO duties as a landlord in Northern Ireland

If you let a home in Northern Ireland under a private tenancy, you must fit interlinked smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms and have every electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years. A house in multiple occupation also needs a licence from the district council before anyone moves in.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Meet electrical safety and alarm duties as a landlord in Wales

If you let a home in Wales under an occupation contract, you must have a valid electrical condition report, renewed at least every five years, and give the contract-holder a copy within 14 days. Each storey needs a mains-connected, interlinked smoke alarm. Without them the home counts as unfit to live in.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Martyn's Law for pubs, shops and venues

Martyn's Law applies to your pub, shop or venue only if you can reasonably expect 200 or more people there at the same time, staff included. The duties have not started and no start date has been set; the Security Industry Authority will enforce them.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Convert farm buildings to holiday accommodation

Converting a farm building to holiday accommodation needs planning permission or a permitted development route, then building regulations approval and a fire risk assessment. It also changes how the building is rated and ends Agricultural Relief on it, so settle the planning route before you commit to the work.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Set up camping or glamping on your farm

In England, you can run tent camping on farmland for up to 60 days a year, with no more than 50 pitches, without planning permission, if you notify the council first and keep records.

Food waste management

Comply with food waste segregation and disposal duties.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Keep a private water supply safe for guests and staff

If guests or staff drink water from your own spring, well or borehole, the council must risk assess and sample it however small it is, and can stop you using it if it is unsafe. You pay its reasonable charges, keep treatment working and act on any failed sample.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Get consent for work on an SSSI

If you own or occupy land in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, you must get written consent from Natural England before carrying out any operation on the site's list. Without a decision in 4 months you can treat it as refused and appeal. Working without consent risks an unlimited fine.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Packaging waste producer responsibilities

If your business has a turnover of more than £1 million and handles more than 25 tonnes of packaging a year, you must register and report packaging data under Extended Producer Responsibility. Large producers, with £2 million turnover and more than 50 tonnes, also pay disposal fees and meet recycling obligations.

Applies if your goods reach customers in packaging that you supply, brand or import

Get a water discharge permit

If your business discharges effluent, waste water or contaminated run-off into rivers, the sea or the ground, you need an environmental permit; discharging without one can mean up to 5 years in prison and an unlimited fine. Discharges to a public sewer need trade effluent consent from your water company instead.

Applies if you release liquid effluent or waste water into a river, the sea or the ground

Trade effluent consent for discharging to sewers

If your business discharges liquid waste other than domestic sewage into a public sewer, you need trade effluent consent from your sewerage company. Discharging without it is a criminal offence under the Water Industry Act 1991, with an unlimited fine.

Applies if you put process liquids, washwater or other non-household effluent down the drain into the public sewer

Apply for a water abstraction licence

If you take more than 20 cubic metres of water a day from a river, stream, borehole or other natural source, you need an abstraction licence; abstracting without one is a criminal offence. Start early with a pre-application enquiry, because the regulator must check your abstraction won't harm the water body.

Applies if you take water from a river, borehole, spring or well rather than the mains

Prepare for a food hygiene inspection

Inspections are usually unannounced, so keep your records and premises inspection-ready every day. The officer scores how food is handled, the condition of the premises and how well you manage food safety, and a weak area on any of the three pulls your rating down.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Set up a HACCP-based food safety system

Every food business beyond primary production must run permanent food safety procedures based on the seven HACCP principles, scaled to its size and kept up to date with records. Small caterers and shops can use a Food Standards Agency toolkit; larger or higher-risk businesses need an HACCP plan.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Novel foods authorisation in Great Britain

A food not widely eaten in the UK or EU before 15 May 1997, such as CBD products or edible insects, is a novel food and needs FSA authorisation before you can sell it in Great Britain. Expect the process to take 18 months or more.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Train your staff in food safety

The law requires food handlers to be supervised and instructed or trained in food hygiene to suit their work, and HACCP staff to be adequately trained, but it does not require certificates. Train new starters before they handle food, cover allergens and keep records.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Control food temperatures safely

Keep food at safe temperatures throughout storage, cooking, holding, cooling, and reheating to prevent harmful bacterial growth and comply with food hygiene law.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

How food safety enforcement works in Wales

In Wales, your local authority's environmental health officers inspect food businesses and take enforcement action, while FSA Wales sets policy and audits councils. Inspections follow a risk-based programme. Officers can serve improvement notices and prohibition orders or prosecute, and displaying your hygiene rating is compulsory under the Food Hygiene Rating (Wales) Act 2013.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Food safety requirements in Scotland

Food businesses in Scotland are regulated by Food Standards Scotland, not the Food Standards Agency, so check Scottish guidance. Most small businesses use CookSafe rather than Safer Food Better Business, and inspections lead to a Pass or Improvement Required result instead of a 0 to 5 rating.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Set up food premises that meet hygiene standards

Food premises anywhere in the UK must meet the hygiene standards in Annex II of Regulation (EC) 852/2004. Plan the layout so raw and ready-to-eat food never cross, fit washable floors and walls, and provide separate handwashing facilities, ventilation, storage and pest control before you open.

Appeal your food hygiene rating or request a re-rating in Wales

If you think your food hygiene rating in Wales is wrong, appeal in writing to your local authority within 21 days. Keep displaying your current rating meanwhile, because removing it is an offence; once you have made improvements, you can pay for a re-rating visit.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Comply with mandatory food hygiene rating display in Wales

In Wales, you must display your food hygiene rating where customers can see it, and failing to do so is a criminal offence. You must also tell customers your rating when they ask, including when they order online or by phone.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Meet food composition, contaminant and labelling controls

If you make processed food, you must keep contaminants and pesticide residues within their legal limits as part of your HACCP plan. Baking, frying or roasting starchy foods forms acrylamide, so you must take steps to keep it as low as reasonably achievable.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Get your animal-origin food establishment approved

Businesses that handle meat, fish, shellfish or dairy products must be approved, not just registered, before they trade. Approval comes from the Food Standards Agency or your local authority, and gives you the unique approval number for your identification mark.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Make soft drinks and bottled water

Packaged soft drinks with added sugar above a threshold owe the Soft Drinks Industry Levy. You cannot market natural mineral water until your source is recognised, and taking water from your own borehole or spring above the threshold needs an abstraction licence.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Run an animal feed or pet food business

Before you make, store or sell animal feed or pet food, you must register as a feed business operator, with the Animal and Plant Health Agency in England. Pet food made from animal by-products needs a second APHA registration, and you may use only authorised feed additives.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Holiday let food hygiene, employment and insurance

If you serve guests any food, even a welcome hamper, you run a food business: register with your council at least 28 days before you start and tell guests about allergens. If you employ cleaners or other staff, check their right to work before they start.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Get approved food establishment status in Wales

If your business in Wales makes products of animal origin, such as meat, dairy, fish or egg products, and supplies them to other businesses, it needs approval before it starts. The FSA approves slaughterhouses, cutting plants, game handling establishments and wholesale meat markets; your local authority approves the rest.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Labelling and safety rules for selling food online

Comply with distance selling rules when selling food online, including providing mandatory food information before purchase, allergen labelling at two points, and maintaining safe delivery temperatures.

Relevant across several parts of this sector.

Handle animal by-products from your food business

Unsold meat, fish, dairy and egg products become animal by-products once you decide they are not for eating, and catering waste is controlled too. You must keep higher-risk items out of landfill and animal feed, never feed catering waste to farm animals, and move by-products with the right paperwork.

Charge no-show fees and keep customer deposits

Usually yes, if the customer agrees the term before booking and the amount reflects what you actually lose. For online and phone bookings, a customer who cancels in the cancellation period can still get their money back.

Applies if you sell goods or provide services to individuals for their personal use

Manage public access on your open access land

If your land is mapped as open access land, people can walk on it without asking, but cultivated fields, buildings and land near homes are excepted. You owe walkers less duty over natural features, can close land for up to 28 days a year, and must not put up misleading signs.

Relevant to a specific activity in this sector.

Prepare for CMA enforcement action

If the CMA or Trading Standards contacts you about a possible consumer law breach, get specialist legal advice at once. Since 6 April 2025, the CMA can fine businesses up to 10% of worldwide turnover or £300,000, whichever is higher, without going to court.

Applies if you sell goods or provide services to individuals for their personal use

Consumer rights compliance for service providers

Every service you provide to consumers must be carried out with reasonable care and skill, and anything you tell them about yourself or the service becomes part of the contract. If the service falls short, you must repeat it or, if that is impossible, reduce the price.

Applies if you sell goods or provide services to individuals for their personal use

Gift voucher expiry dates, refunds and VAT

Yes, if the term is fair, plain and shown before the customer buys. You need not give change from a part-used voucher unless your terms promise it.
