Answer: If you don't have any employees, then you do not need to register your business. If you do, you will need to register either with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or Environmental Health - depending on the sort of business you have. For example: HSE for factories, farms and building sites; Environmental Health for offices, shops, hotels and catering, and leisure activities.
