Better Business for All

What is Better Business for All (BBfA)?

Better Business for All is an action-focused partnership involving local regulators, economic and business development services and networks, with business representatives from the West of England working collaboratively to create a supportive and sustainable regulatory environment whilst ensuring public protection. The aim of the West of England BBfA is to support economic growth by making it easier to do business in the region. We will do this by supporting compliance and removing regulatory barriers.

Your local regulators can help save you time and money, improve your competitiveness and help you grow your business.

What does it mean to my Business?

• BBfA is business-focused, using business-led improvements to create better regulation, support business growth and create a level playing field for businesses
• A positive relationship between business and regulators is crucial to reducing both the perceived and real regulatory burden on business
• Listening to businesses’ needs and acting on it in an open and transparent way to help shape the way support is provided by local regulators
• Making sure you comply with the law will help your business be successful while protecting your customers and your reputation
• We want to create an environment where businesses feel confident to seek advice from local regulators without fear of attracting enforcement activity
• Regulators are a source of free, impartial and up-to-date support and advice for businesses

We recognise that compliant businesses can be at a disadvantage if a more formal enforcement approach is not taken with non-compliant businesses. It is important that regulators are consistent and continue to take enforcement action when necessary in a fair and transparent way. This ensures both a level playing field for businesses as well as public protection.
