West Devon Business Support - Success Stories

“Our overall experience with BIP has been amazing. We have been given all the help and advice we could possibly need, and their advisors always have time to sit down and listen to ideas you have and give their advice on them. From simple things such as registering a new business to advanced online marketing, BIP has helped us 100% all the way! 

If you are a small business and everything is starting to get on top of you, or you need any advice, do not hesitate to contact BIP, they can help you in more ways than you can imagine. They always provide a professional service and give the best possible advice. Don’t be scared to ask for help!” 

Ben Bailey, Flyonix 

"Helpful, knowledgeable, conscientious, prompt, professional, a really good service to have in the area. I’d be a bit stuck without them. Go straight to BIP.

I have passed this advice on
to many people over the years and indeed got a message this morning from someone who has taken that advice saying, “Thank you – they are amazing!”
