When choosing a business, particularly when arranging a service, you should:
- satisfy yourself that you both agree in writing what work is to be done and the price that is to be paid
- obtain more than one quote and choose the business you are most happy with
Clearly the price is important, but it's not the only factor that you should take into consideration. The Business Approval website has additional pre-contract tips to help you find the right business to carry out work for you.
