Perhaps the biggest burden that all businesses face today is the ever increasing amount of legislation and “Red Tape”.  Despite many campaigns over many years, there seems to be no end to either new legislation or amendments to existing legislation, particularly coming from Europe.

The Confederation recognises this, and as part of its membership benefits, provides all members with a totally FREE Advice Line service, 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm Saturday & Sunday.

If you have any kind of legal problem and just need some sound advice then call the Legal Advice Line. The advice is FREE and you can use it as many times as you need.  Members are provided with a password to use when calling the advice line.

In addition to the telephone support from the advice line, there is an on-line documentation service which is a library of documents covering such as contracts of employment, health and safety policy documents etc. Through a series of questions, you build up a document that is specific to your business.
