Helping Businesses

Every year our Service helps 1000’s of Cheshire businesses cut through the red tape so they are able to run successful compliant businesses. If your business is already established in Cheshire, or if you’re thinking of starting a new venture in the county, we can help you to by providing you with advice on your responsibilities under current legislation.

We have a dedicated business support team available to take your calls Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm on 01270 685900. If our Officers are unable to answer your enquiry immediately they will ensure that it is passed to one of our specialist teams.

If you are not based in Cheshire please visit Trading Standards Central and enter your postcode to find details of your Trading Standards department.

Why not visit our business resource pages to obtain practical advice and discover more about your legal obligations?

Helping farmers

As Cheshire is a predominantly rural county (70% of the County’s land is used for Agricultural production) we have a team of dedicated officers on hand to assist and advise Farmers in complying with their statutory obligations.

For advice and information call us on our dedicated animal health line on 01270 686254 or e-mail the environmental health department (please note that your email subject will automatically be set to "Animal Health and Welfare" - this will ensure that your enquiry is routed to the correct department). We have also created a farming information page which provides links to useful websites and practical advice leaflets.
