Longevity
The track record of your supplier is important. While every business has to start somewhere, it is important to check how long a company has been trading. If a company has been trading for a long time, they have a proven track record, happy customers and repeat business.
They will not be willing to sell you a number plate if all the right credential are not in order.

Online security
It is so, so important that you know the supplier has a secure site with a digital certificate to accept payments online. You don't want to give your credit or debit details to a company that doesn't have such stringent security. Most websites who accept your card is secured using what's known as SSL encryption technology. Originally designed by the US military, it keeps internet fraud at bay.
Make sure the website has at least 128 SSL encryption. If you want to know what type of security your supplier has, then you can check it out. Most have a little lock on the bottom right of the browser. If you right click it, then a description pops up.
In summary, it's it's easy and hassle-free to buy online. But be wary of the suppliers that are out there. Always buy from a trustworthy company.
