Primary Authority Partnership

We offer businesses a legally recognised partnership through Primary Authority (PDF, 374.0 KB) to provide professional, assured, regulatory advice that enables the businesses to trade with confidence.

A dedicated Trading Standards Officer will work with your business to provide tailored advice and support to act as a single point of contact for other trading standards authorities both to co-ordinate and provide evidence of your compliance.

The minimum package is 10 hours to include initial set up as a Primary Authority including registration on the Regulatory Delivery website and an action planning meeting. To discuss Primary Authority for your business, email TSbusinessadvice@kent.gov.uk.

Tailored pre-paid packages to provide set up, advice, consultancy and other services are also available. Read our fees and charges.
