Will Business Approval Ltd operate in areas where Local Authorities have their own Schemes?

We will be focusing on those local authority areas that do not currently have a scheme, and working with those local authorities that are finding austerity measures are putting their schemes at risk or forcing them to look to alternatives, such as the commissioning of service delivery. We understand that committing the necessary resources to deliver and promote local authority schemes and grow the membership can prove difficult.

We want to work in partnership with local authorities to deliver a service that works to ensure that consumers are protected and businesses are supported and our Primary Authority partnership is central to our success. We recognise that our offer to local authorities may not interest those that already have well established and successful schemes.

However, there may be businesses trading in those local authority areas that might also like to be part of the Business Approval Register and we will seek to recruit those that can satisfy us that they can treat their customers’ fairly and deliver excellent service.
