Introduction to Scheme
The Isle of Man Government's Advisory Service
was established in 1992. Since that time over 150 Companies
have been assisted under this service. The Advisory service
provided expert Consultancy, initially in Quality Standards
such as BS5750 and latterly in business disciplines such as
Business Planning, Marketing, Financial Management Controls
and Training and Development.
This newly revised Business Support Scheme introduced in May
2004 expands and improves on the old Advisory Service to cover
ten key disciplines that cover all aspects of business.
These are:
- Marketing
- Design
- E-Business
- Environmental Efficiency
- Human Resources Development
- Quality
- Operations Management
- Business and Strategic Planning
- Information Communication Technology/
Information Systems
- Business & Financial Management Controls
Each BSS project delivers a complete business
solution in any of the business disciplines above.
How does the Business Support Initiative work?
Once you have applied for assistance under the BSS the Scheme
Manager will arrange for a Business Development Consultant
(BDC) to visit you to carry out a free of charge strategic
reveiw of your business. This review will be made available
to you in the form of a report, which is yours to keep.
As the consultant we will then work with you in order to formulate
a detailed project, and to produce an agreed Terms of Reference.
The Terms of Reference will contain a detailed programme of
work together with a work schedule against which the project
can be monitored.
The BSS Manager will approve the terms of reference, oversee
the project and be available to help at all times.
Once complete the DTI will pay 50% of the cost of the project
to a maximum of £4500 assistance. You will pay the other
50%. No payment will be made until you are satisfied with
the work carried out.
