Business Advice and Mentoring
The range of advice that small to medium sized businesses or organisations need to develop further is extensive. We pride ourselves on being able to either assist a client directly or refer them to people that we know can give them the best advice.

We have given clients advice on:
- looking for new product niches
- structuring of a shareholder's agreement
- constructing a heads of agreement leading to a merger

Risk Management / Insurance Review
The field of risk management is extensive covering all aspects of recognising risks, measuring them, and mitigating their effects. We approach our work by trying to minimise the total cost of risk in an operation and within our team can cover most areas of non-financial risk assessments.

We have assisted clients by:
- assessing their risks
- tailoring an insurance and contractual programme to protect them
- examined risks and opportunities in every part of operations

Investment Analysis / Due Diligence
All businesses need to assess their needs for capital expenditure as they grow, so at BDC we apply our skills and knowledge to looking at the various funding alternatives that exist, whether from cashflow, the owner, other shareholders, venture capitalists or angel investors. In the event that a complete business plan must be written we can assist you to do this to an acceptable standard.

If you wish to grow by merger or acquisition we can assist you by looking at the target either at an early stage or by performing due diligence.
