Hi, Just a quick question - How old do you have to be to own a links directory and do you need a license to run one or anything like that? Thanks, Jake.
There are no age limits - why ? Some age limits might apply if you would need a business license, or a paypal account, etc. I guess most youngsters just overcome that by doing business on their parents license/account.
:/ from what I know, there's no limit on what age you have to be to run a directory unless you mean like a phone directory like 118 118 then yea, there probably are limitations
Nah I dont think their is any age restrictions except when it comes to adult links..............then its probably 18 and over. Ive got directories for sale too!
There is no legal minimum age but if you are still considered a minor (under 16 in most countries but can be under 18 in certain circumstances) then you cannot be legally bound by a contract but the other party can be. In theory then if a 13 year old set up a directory charging £100 for listings they could take the money and then not add the business to the directory and the business could not recover their £100 but the police could charge you with fraud (so I am not advocating doing this) and as such whilst you could establish the site at any age some companies/ people arent going to want to do business with you because of the risk element. That said and done, there is a legal requirement in the UK to give your official legal status so unless you established a LTD/ LLP/ PLC for the site then you would have to state on documents, T&Cs etc that it is Your Name t/a Your Site's Name but no requirement as far as I am aware to warn people that your age means only they will be bound by the contract
