Agora Business Publications LLP Reviews 

Agora is amazing! They always go above and beyond to help me with tricky questions, and their online portal has tones of useful information. Their support is quick, friendly, and incredibly reliable. Couldn't recommend them enough!

The magazine is very useful in keeping you up-to-date with regulatory changes and topics that don't immediately spring to mind. However, the best part of the subscription is the access to online resources. There is a vast amount of information and downloadable checklists, templates and guidance on every H&S topic imaginable.

I love that platform, and the content it offers. To fulfil the experience, please investigate adding a
section where I could find all legislation updates but in a format that's easy to understand.

Starting out or being experienced in Health and Safety there are many good points to using H&S Advisor.
It is very good value for money for the information you get, you have access to many helpful documents and forms, especially useful if you are just starting out or having to look after H&S within you job role.
Many items were helpful especially when i was doing my NEBOSH course to look up items.
The many forms can be adjusted to suit your working environment but give good start points if you little to use for checklists, audits, etc.
The magazines are always full of useful information and the if you are stuck you can always contact them for expert advice. For the cost of the subscription if you use this 3 or 4 times you would get your money back but get a lot more.
Would highly recommend subscribing.

***NO STARS***
THIS COMPANY ARE SCAMMERS........
DO NOT ENTERTAIN THEM. IF YOU VISIT THEIR PAGE, THEY START MAKING CONTACT WITH YOU AND IF YOU OPEN THEIR EMAILS, THAT'S A GIVEN THAT YOU ARE SIGNED UP TO THEM....
WHAT SERVICE THEY PROVIDE I AM UNSURE OF. YOU JUST GET A BILL, NOTHING BEING PROVIDED, THEN GET DEBT LETTERS...
THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED...

Deeply unethical company, we were scammed (approx early 2024) as were the majority of the reviews found here. Fast forward they've had the audacity to ask us to rejoin and get scammed again. Quite forceful phone number and only gave up after a firm NO and to take us off the mailing list.

Behaviour of a scam. They invoice and add interest even though they did not send through the CDM publications. Written confirmation of failed service and termination ignored. Beyond disappointed.

Disgraceful outfit! Following several emails stating I have never accessed anything other than their FREE NEWSLETTER and several attempts of emails this disgrace of a company has now forwarded their “invoices for services” not actually provided to a debt management company!

Several requests for cancellation of the invoice due to being disputed following services not received have resulted in unpleasant emails being sent.

Why have you “closed some accounts in full” yet continued threatening others!!

Please cancel disputed invoice 84675419 with immediate effect. Harrassment will not be tolerated. No publications have been received.

Agora Business Park is an absolutely disgraceful company operating what can only be described as a deceptive and predatory scheme. They offer so-called “free subscriptions” that trap unsuspecting users—often children or vulnerable individuals—and then later issue outrageous bills through debt collectors like CCSCollect without proper consent, explanation, or legal basis. Their tactics are deeply unethical, possibly illegal, and show complete disregard for UK consumer law, especially around informed consent, contract transparency, and data protection. Families like mine—already struggling with the cost of living and caring for disabled children—are being harassed and threatened with unjustified debt letters, causing immense stress and anxiety. This company is a danger to the public and should be urgently investigated by the appropriate regulatory authorities. Avoid them at all costs.

I wish i could give zero rating
Complete scam, Agreed to free news letter. Invoiced around a month later for £80 inc vat. stating i have received something via mail however I haven't. I have emailed them and still waiting for them to sort it out. Threatening language in emails and letters. Attempts to contact them are futile, as their phones lines are constantly engaged. And now I am reading same reviews all around, will need to report them as scam.

This company are using under hand tactics to get you to pay for there services .There is no transparency. Their reviews say it all.

Terrible business!

Avoid and dispute the invoice.
I phoned to give feed back all emails look like spam/junk we were'nt even aware we had signed up to this.

Avoid !

WARNING – Avoid Agora Business Publications and CCS Collect

This is a serious warning to anyone considering visiting Agora Business Publications — do not visit their site. I landed on their page simply looking for basic health and safety information. I never signed up for anything or requested a service. Yet, shortly after visiting, I received an unsolicited invoice for a service I never agreed to.

This company appears to collect your contact details from just a visit and uses that to send out fake invoices. When you don’t pay (because you never requested anything!), they escalate it to a debt collection agency — CCS Collect, who then starts harassing you with payment notices. This entire setup feels like a deliberate scam designed to exploit people through intimidation and loopholes in the law.

The mental stress, time wasted, and the audacity of being chased over something you never agreed to is beyond frustrating. Agora Business Publications and CCS Collect are acting in a way that is unethical, misleading, and predatory.

Please do not visit Agora Business Publications – it is a trap. Both they and CCS Collect should be investigated for these practices. It’s shameful that this kind of manipulation is still legally allowed to happen.

I wish I could give a negative rating. This company operates like a complete scam! Simply entering your details to learn more about their services results in an unexpected invoice and relentless demands for payment. Attempts to contact them are futile, as their phones lines are constantly engaged.

Avoid this company at all costs! DO NOT SIGN UP!

Avoid Agora also the Health and Safety adviser online at all costs. Corrupt file links sent, no access to their database.

One hyperlink took me to a dead-end German website. Single call from CDM publication agent Ian asking to turn off the anti-virus system.

Poor service, no apologies, no intent to address their document access issue, ignores letter content, and the entire experience reads as a SCAM.

Poor communication, other than the repeated invoices.

Looking into legal action against Agora also the Health and Safety adviser online.

Cold called regarding H&S services. Agreed to free news letter. Invoiced around a month later for £156.30 inc vat. Advised that I should have cancelled. Only positive thing about this company is that they cancelled the invoice. Obviously reliant on businesses not following up cancellation to scam them out of cash for services that they haven't provided. Avoid!!!

This people have been harrasing me with emails and letter claiming i subscribed to their service and now owe them.
I can find any regulatory organization to report them to but i am going to report them to the police for harrasement

Complete scam, was cold called by someone and said I wasn't interested. Somehow now there trying to say that I owe them monies and even dept collectors. Threatening emails and letters. These people are utter scammers. Im going to report these scammers the trading standards. Then lets see what happens!!

Another victim of this scam over 320 reviews all saying the same being sent invoices and debt collectors for a subscription they didnt want or subscribe to. How many more people are affected. It seems this business spends all its efforts sending invoices and debt collectors and replying to reviews claiming you subscribed and didn't cancel. It is normal when you subscribe to a free trail you provide your payment details and if you forget to cancel payment is taken. These payments are protected and regulated by Financial Conduct Authority under Payment services regulations 2017. Why do this company not take payment detail? Because the consumer would be protected and would be refunded and this scam to get money out of innocent people who don't want your subscription and never did would be stopped. Rather than focus on developing a service that people might actually want to subscribe to. This company seems to focus on hounding what were potential customers for money for a service that they decided was not suitable or worth a paid subscription. Disgusting way to treat anyone let alone potential customers. Which begs the question how much are this company making by persuing non subscrbers v those who paid.

I haven’t received any services or advice from this company. I was browsing on the internet and I have today paid £138 for services and debt collection fees. I’m a seriously sick person with severe Parkinson’s disease and serious heart problems. This situation has caused me so much grief after receiving demand after demand for payment and now a threat to take it further by the debt collection agency. If I weren’t so ill I would have taken it much further. Please don’t use this company. A definite SCAM.

Out of the blue we got an invoice in the post for £99.80 for Health & safety adviser online subscription. We had no clue why so I rang Agora business publications LLP and spoke to Neil. I asked why we had been sent the invoice and Neil said my husband had signed up for a free trial and then not clicked on the email to either keep or cancel the trial. My husband wasn’t even aware he had done this. I told Neil we hadn’t had any emails so Neil tried to send me an email while I was on the phone but he said it wouldn’t send. After this he accepted we hadn’t had the emails and cancelled our subscription and invoice.
I initially left 1 star on my review and said Agora were scammers which was our initial view after getting the unexpected invoice out of the blue. I have now changed this to 3 because thanks to Neil the issue has been resolved to our satisfaction. I think Agora need to look at the way they handle their free trials because an awful lot of people seem very unhappy getting billed by your company.
