Local Business Partners: Solving problems for businesses in Manchester and the North West • 0161 979 0400 • info@localbp.co.uk

What is the problem we solve?

For about half the cost, you get the same value as a full-time director of financeHR or marketing.

You also avoid these drawbacks:

  • You get the guarantee of commitment – we lose money if you’re not happy
  • You get director level expertise by the hour, by the day
  • You only get people who themselves run a small business
  • You don’t get a long contract where the risk is all on your side
  • You get action and results – we are not coaches or external consultants – we are inside your business working alongside you

We solve problems for businesses that are serious about growth

Here are some solutions to problems you can take away today – steal them, share them, act on them!
