Why choose to work with the Business Advisory Group?

While there may be economic uncertainty due to inflation pressures, increasing prices, supply chain impacts and global disruptions. However, we are optimistic about the future.

We are receiving more requests from entrepreneurs, business owners and non-profit organizations. Many feel it is a time to revisit their business plan because of the economic headwinds. Consider meeting with us to discuss your business and plan of action.

Why choose to work with the Business Advisory Group?

Our clients cite two things that set us apart from other advisors:

• We provide invaluable business advice tailored to each client.
• We offer an independent viewpoint of your business.

The Business Advisory Group, founded in 1984, are experienced business professionals volunteering their time to ‘give back’ to help local businesses tackle real challenges.

Our longevity and the strength of our value proposition clearly lies in the collective wisdom of our volunteer members, who typically have 35+ years or more of successful, hard won, practical business experience – we’ve likely faced many of the challenges you haven’t yet and can help you avoid! We offer an independent perspective of your business.

Our members also share a strong passion to give back to the community and hence, the modest fee for our services. Where else can you get years of experience dedicated to your business problems for three hours for only $195! Our nominal fees are designed to be well below “market value” and are used to cover basic organizational expenses.

In addition to our pre-scheduled online and in-person advisory sessions, some of the other activities and organizations that the Business Advisory Group supports include:

• Hamilton Business Centre: “Access to Professionals” Program
• Ontario Small Business Centres: Strategic Planning Workshop
• Volunteer Halton/Community Development Halton
