Our members have access to a wide range of benefits including:-

Using the Logo

One of the first benefits of membership is the qualification to use the logo, communicating their commitment to deliver excellence to customers. This mark is a sign that the business operates fairly and is one that strives to exceed the minimum requirements of consumer law, continuously aiming to achieve high standards and excellence in customer service. Using the logo provides consumers with a source of confidence and provides members with a powerful marketing device enabling them to not only attract, but to retain customers and secure business growth year on year.

Partnership with Business Approval

Members benefit from a partnership with Business Approval and our team will work with businesses to devise and implement any necessary improvements to ensure that they comply with the law, deliver excellence to customers and encourage growth.

We have the necessary skills and expertise to deal with any issues or questions that may arise from the sale and supply of goods or services. We recognise that from time to time members will need business support and we will work with businesses small and large and help those that don’t have the time during their busy working days to keep up to speed with what is legally required and those that just need a bit of extra help and support.

Working with trading standards services, our marketing and PR experts and developing partnerships with local, regional and national regulators or organisations we will support our business members. A compliant business is a healthy business and we know this results in customer satisfaction, customer retention and business growth.

Business Sponsorship and Promotion

We support businesses that are trustworthy and reliable. We are committed to marketing the Business Approval Register brand to promote those that measure up to the standards required. We provide consumers with a choice of reputable and reliable businesses from whom they can source goods and services with confidence.

Business Advice and Support for dispute resolution

Members benefit from a superior advice service to assist resolution of consumer disputes if they arise. No business can guarantee that problems will never occur, but as a member, you can rely on support when dealing with such matters. This membership benefit will form an important element of members’ complaint protocol maximising the opportunity to resolve any consumer disputes at an early stage.

Dedicated Business Page

All members have access to a dedicated page on the consumer area of the website where they can provide company contact information together with details of the goods and/or services available. As a member they will be able to log in to monitor the number of hits on their page, see how many consumers have taken their details and check their customer feedback ratings.

Free Entry into the Business Directory

All members will be entered into the Membership Directory which will be available using an on-line search facility. This will also be available through our partner organisations such as Age UK, Citizens Advice and various Local Authority departments including Trading Standards Services.

Legal Advice and Training*

Members will have access to business support and advice as part of their membership. However, further benefits will be available for specific legal advice or training for them and their staff. These services may be subject to additional fees but preferential rates are available to members.
