Business Development and Support Services
30% of businesses fail in their first year, 60% fail within 3 years and it’s staggering to note that only 4% last ten years or more! This is where a business expert could make a real difference to your business and its long-term success and profitability.


Everything we do is tailored to you and your business
Most business owners are experts within their field and start their business on this basis, whilst working on their personal development and business skills to support their business.
As the world of business picks up pace and gets more competitive, it can be difficult to keep up with both the changes in your industry as well as the advances in sales, marketing, and management strategies.
At BAS there are no off-the-shelf packages – because every business and every business owner is different! Our tried and tested solutions are adapted and adjusted to suit your needs and goals along with the needs of your business.
So, the answer to “where do I go for business advice?” is simple!
Keeping your business growth and consultancy within the same space as the management of your finances just makes good business sense.
Whilst there are of course costs involved in specialist business support, having a business support package should be seen as an investment (and it’s tax deductible!). A business coach can help you make real change within your business and support your personal development along the way.
“Whether you are running a global brand, a small business, considering a start-up, running a business can feel like a solo mission.
Most business owners have a goal in mind or want to make a change to how their business impacts their personal life and are unsure on the right steps to take.
Self-help books and articles are available in the 1,000’s (and I can recommend a few!) however nothing really compares to 1-2-1 trusted and tailored support.
That’s where we come in.
We work 1-2-1 with business owners to ensure we really understand their personal goals and that of their business.
We build a tailored plans based on your appetite for growth, availability, and your goals.
