What licences does an online business need?
Usually just SSM registration plus any activity-specific rules — e-commerce sellers must display business registration details under consumer protection e-commerce regulations, and certain goods (food, cosmetics, health products, controlled items) carry their own regulator requirements. Pure online services with no physical premises generally need no council licence.
Statutory figures: Consumer Protection (Electronic Trade Transactions) Regulations SSM
