Better Business for All

Better Business for All (BBfA) is the LLEP's response to addressing the national priority of reducing the burdens on business to aid economic recovery.  BBfA works by creating a partnership between Leicestershire’s regulatory services, such as the Environment Agency, Environmental Health and HMRC in order to support business growth through the removal of real and perceived regulatory barriers.   Part of this is the creation of a single dedicated telephone line for the use of businesses who may have queries about regulatory matters but don’t know which body to approach.

The telephone line is available now and can be accessed on 0871 384 3185.  There is also an email address available. 

The regulatory partners involved in the scheme are as follows:

·         Blaby District Council

·         Charnwood Borough Council

·         Environment Agency

·         Harborough District Council

·         Hinckley & Bosworth District Council

·         HMRC

·         Health & Safety Executive

·         Leicester City Council

·         Leicestershire Fire & Rescue

·         Leicestershire County Council

·         Melton Borough Council

·         North West Leicestershire District Council

·         Oadby & Wigston Borough Council

The scheme is also supported by the Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce, Leicestershire Asian Business Association and the Federation of Small Business.
