The Small Business Commissioner Review examines the role and effectiveness of the Small Business Commissioner in protecting small and micro-businesses from unfair contract terms, late payments, and disputes with larger suppliers and energy companies. Led by the Department for Business and Trade and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the review is active and includes consultation on collective actions regimes, Energy Ombudsman coverage expansion, and improved dispute resolution mechanisms. Recent recommendations propose extending Energy Ombudsman coverage to all small businesses and increasing maximum award limits to £50,000.
