“I enjoyed the entire process from start to finish and best of all we picked up some quality enquiries as a result.  We produce quite a few videos of our own but they are usually short pieces. With no time limit to the interview it allowed me properly get across everything that I think is important about BCMS as a business and cover the issues that prospective clients are most interested in.  Thanks to Marc and Tim and the rest of the team there.

Group Risk Development (GRiD)

“I thoroughly enjoyed being interviewed for Business TV. The process was extremely professional and I had plenty of advanced input into what we would discuss. On the day, my interviewer put me at my ease and ran through what would happen in advance of recording. Afterwards, he checked that I was happy with how the interview had gone and I was also given the opportunity to view and approve the recording before its release. Overall, the process was pretty painless and a fantastic way of reaching medium sized businesses with benefits messaging”. Watch Interview

About BusinessTV

We are the UK’s only dedicated platform connecting Medium Sized Businesses (MSBs) with the professional advice they need to improve their operational efficiency, governance, compliance and their strategies for growth and on-going success.

Due to its unique focus, BusinessTV makes it easy for Business Owners and their departmental directors to find engaging and informative content and, in turn, enables content created by the Professional Services community to reach this dynamic community.

The platform serves as an informative and cohesive destination for Business Owners and Advisers ultimately helping to improve the flow and engagement of professional expertise to drive business performance.

While our primary focus is to connect Medium Sized Business (MSBs) with Professional Advisers the broad range of content found on BusinessTV is appropriate for businesses of all sizes

About Medium Sized Businesses (MSBs)

Not to be confused with SMEs, (the very term ‘sme’ having become a bye-word for very small companies only), MSBs are companies classified as having turnovers of between £10-80 million. There are approximately 60,000 MSBs in the UK.

Often refered to as the Middle Market, it is arguably the most exciting and dynamic sector of the economy. MSBs account for a third of all private sector GDP and jobs and they continually punch above their weight in terms innovation, creativity, viability and resilience, frequently outperforming both smaller companies and multi-nationals.

While having much in common with larger companies, MSBs typically retain a uniquely simple management structure, with 80% being owner directed and key decisions taken between only a handful of hands-on stakeholders. These flat management structures deliver many notable advantages, not least of all the ability to to make speedy decisions, in-turn resulting in reduced times to market and increased agility in the face of changing circumstances: qualities that are more important now than ever before.

All MSBs, irrespective of their principal activity, are now faced with a manifold of operational challenges that invariably require professional expertise. Functions such as Finance & Tax, HR, Pension & Benefits, ITC, Risk, ESG & Diversity have all become increasingly complex, regulated, burdensome and intertwined, requiring optimal management if businesses are to remain compliant, reduce risk and achieve the operational efficiencies they require to underpin their strategies for growth.

MSBs acknowledge that they often lack the professional skills internally to manage many of these every day, yet non-core functions, themselves and agree that external Professional Services are critical to their on-going success

Taking part with an Interview.

Reach the MSB community through the most powerful medium you have – your people.

The MSB community are very much people driven; relying on the strength of their relationships to drive their own businesses forward they naturally seek the same depth of relationship with their partners and supply chain.

Although the delivery of Professional Services is becoming increasingly digitalised the fundamentals of client acquisition and retention remain the same, ‘people buy people first’.

Taking part with a BusinessTV Interview is a powerful way of showcasing your professional expertise, presenting the human face of your firm and of conveying enough of the right kind of information to make a real connection with your audience.

The transparent nature of video Interviews has a habit of bringing sincere people and competencies to the fore and viewers draw comfort from being able to identify genuine, approachable people behind the services on offer.

Our Interviews allow advisers to cover the topic in enough detail to ensure the viewer is left with a clear understanding of the issues at hand and the firm is seen as a reliable and best-in-class partner to provide the solutions required.

We create Interviews on topics that we know are front-of-mind for our community and our community know that our Interview partners are leaders in their field.
