Enterprise Connect allocates a Business Adviser to each firm applying for a Business Review. If a firm has already had contact with a Business Adviser, that Adviser will usually be assigned to undertake the Business Review unless the firm requests otherwise. Applicants may request a specific Business Adviser and requests will be met where practicable.
Our Business Advisers work with people throughout various operational levels of a firm to develop a thorough view of, for example:
- the strengths and weaknesses of the firm
- strategic business issues
- potential areas for business improvement
- potential areas for growth
The Business Review is a collaborative process, with the Business Adviser and key people in the firm working together to identify changes that could be made to increase the firm's productivity and competitiveness.
