Our Relationship with your lawyer, accountant and other advisors

SMEs need to build a strong advisory team to support the business

Business success and the ability to make quality decisions results from having an effective network of advisers.

International research has confirmed that the failure of small businesses to become established or to grow profitably can be invariably traced to shortcomings in business management practice and a lack of appropriate advice at crucial growth stages. A common feature across businesses that have established themselves as leaders in their industries is that they have established a skilled team of advisers.  They have acknowledged that do not have all the specialist skills necessary to run a business, and have accepted that they simply do not have the time or energy to do everything for themselves.

When managing a business the owner is often too close to the coalface to identify problems and may need the advice of an experienced business adviser.  We believe that every business owner has a desire to run their business as efficiently as they possibly can.  What constrains many business owners is the lack of access to skilled advisers to assist them at different stages of their business life cycle.

The Business Development Network has developed close relationships with key advisers, including in accounting, legal and banking.

We work closely with these advisers to ensure their clients (ie you) have access to the specialist skills and knowledge of our members.

We complement and strengthen the advisory team that is supporting the business owner to assist them to take their business to the next level.
