‘Buy With Confidence’ is a non-profit trader scheme and aims to provide the elderly, vulnerable and general members of the public with a list of Traders that have been vetted and rigorously checked by Trading Standards Services.
The scheme provides consumers with a list of businesses which have given their commitment to trading fairly. For businesses looking to show what sets them apart from the rest, the ‘Buy With Confidence Trading Standards Approved’ stamp helps instil confidence in prospective customers and shows that it is a business that takes fair trading seriously. Membership also gives businesses access to advice from qualified Trading Standards personnel, to ensure that if they are ever uncertain of the law, the answer is easy to get.
More than 50 local authorities throughout the UK support the scheme, having decided that ‘Buy With Confidence’ offers the customer protection and business support they think is vital. Even if your council isn’t directly part of the scheme, you can still apply to become a member and attain ‘Buy With Confidence’ Trading Standards approval.
