Buy With Confidence
Find approved traders
In response to concerns about ‘rogue traders’, we provide consumers with a list of local businesses that are committed to trading fairly and provide high standards of customer service.
All businesses on the Buy With Confidence website have been approved by Trading Standards. We work in partnership with the scheme providers who are Hampshire County Council Trading Standards to complete the approval process.
