At hand: Advice leaflets
Trading standards make trading safe and fair for everyone. We have a range of services to help businesses understand the standards.
If you run a business, it is important that you understand the trading standards that apply to you. To help you, we offer:
- a range of advisory leaflets
- a Business Advice Line (not just telephone, but also email, letter, or personal visit as needed)
- occasional talks at business forums
- a verification service (for weights and measures)
The Business Advice Line is the best place to start: 020 8921 8223
