Trading Standards - Perth & Kinross (Better Business Partnership)

The Trading Standards service of Perth & Kinross Council and Tayside Police Crime Management Unit Western Division have introduced the "Better Business Partnership", a voluntary registration scheme for businesses. The aim is to help traders comply with the law while improving consumer protection through a partnership approach.

Services offered by businesses cannot be approved or recommended, but traders who are committed to trading fairly and honestly may apply to join the registration scheme and sign a pledge that they will comply with certain terms and conditions of membership.

As long as they continue trade in a fair and honest manner, members may display the Better Business Partnership logo on their business premises, vehicles, documentation and in their advertising.
