Business Services and Risk Management
We specialise in areas that protect your business, allowing you to get on with doing the thing you set out to do. Through our carefully chosen partners and a network of over 200 business advisors we provide cost effective services in intellectual property, health and safety, HR, cost reduction, software and cyber security, tax and R&D tax credits.

Protecting your idea, invention or the way you have developed of doing something is now not only becoming seen as basic good sense but it can also be seen as a ‘balance sheet benefit’ adding value to your business, helping you get grants, funding, investment and bank facilities.
