Testimonials :
Practical, straight talking and affordable
"ibd is the most practical, straight talking and affordable resource that I have found for small businesses. It operates a network of Business Advisers across the country that specialise in small to medium size businesses and nothing else."
"It ensures that all its advisers have real-life experience of running a business. This means that they can roll their sleeves up and help, if you want them to, as well as offering advice. It also means that behind each Adviser is a central resource, with expertise in everything from raising funding to avoiding insolvency".
"ibd will give you a free one-hour Business Health Check, and they are flexible in how and when they charge for their services".
Anna Hopkiss, Teach Yourself Books, "Small Business Health Check"

Professional
I would like to thank PH and PK for the professional manner in which you delivered the two day "Business Plan Rectification" workshop. It was exactly what was needed and was of great value.
As you are aware I have spent a long period of time researching and writing the Lifestyle Vouchers International Business Plan and had been assisted by a number of other Business Advisers along the way. You, however brought with you considerable business experience and have developed the Plan into a document that can be implemented in the real world and one that gives us confidence for the future.
