Business Ombudsman: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use free mediation to resolve commercial disputes with clients or suppliers without going to court.
The Business Ombudsman is a service designed to help resolve commercial disputes through mediation rather than through a formal court process.
Who it's for
This service is for businesses that are facing disagreements or conflicts with their clients or their suppliers.
What you get
You get access to free mediation. This is a process where a neutral third party helps both sides reach an agreement to settle a commercial conflict without the need for a legal battle in court.
What it costs you
The service is free to use. Your main requirement is the time needed to prepare and submit your file through the official online system.
