5. BoardView – One of the things that all of the UK’s most successful companies have in common is that they hold regular board meetings to discuss strategy. What’s more, in our experience, when smaller businesses – even one man band businesses – start holding board meetings they immediately start thinking like, acting like and achieving like their bigger and more successful counterparts.We’ll gladly come to any four of your key business meetings as a resource to help you make the very best use of your time. And you can use us in any way you want – from silent observer to adjudicator, technical adviser to independent sounding board, chairman to minute taker, or even as the facilitator for brainstorming sessions.

11. Unlimited free ad hoc advice – As a valued client you will have unlimited access to our entire team for advice on ad-hoc matters. This means that you can call on us at any time knowing that you will never be charged for our time or advice. So I hope you will feel free to speak to us whenever you need to, without ever having to worry about the cost.

Of course, if any of the issues raised at any of these unlimited consultations (or anywhere else) require research or analysis beyond the consultation, we will give you a fixed price quotation for that extra work before any additional work is started.

This means you will never get an unexpected bill.
