Business and regulatory impact assessment: toolkit

This toolkit provides guidance on how to complete a business and regulatory impact assessment (BRIA) using the BRIA template. BRIAs estimate the costs, benefits and risks of proposed legislation, voluntary regulation, codes of practice or guidance that impact the public, private or third sector.


Test Run Of Business Forms

All new forms introduced as a result of Scottish Government legislation must also be test run as early as possible with appropriate businesses, business organisations etc. to ensure they are clear, simple and easy to complete. It can be useful to get business/business organisations to help in the development process, however there is a firm commitment to consult an appropriate sample of 6-12 business likely to be affected by the proposal. In completing this section of the impact assessment template, provide details of any new forms being introduced. Explain how they were developed, what input business etc. had in their development and the results of the test run.
