Engaging Support

At ibd we have numerous advisors with relevant expertise, from those with experience of business-to-business markets, to consumer and not-for-profit. We can cover any sector specialism a company might require from, for example, computer software to healthcare, utilities or FMCG markets. We are able to pool teams of advisors where a client might require a breadth of support in business finance.

We want to make it straightforward and simple to engage with ibd advisors:

• The first step is to create a brief for a prospective advisor, whether it is a one-off project or a longer-term relationship that is required.
• Via ibd head office, make contact with an individual or number of prospective advisors with whom you’d like to open discussions.

The timeline for creating a shortlist and taking a decision is dependent on your own company processes. You may want to invite an advisor to your offices so they can get a feel for your business and meet any additional members of our management team.
