What value did you receive from BACD?
I felt accepted; that my business idea was sound. My advisor offered excellent guidance, and I had the framework to reassess my first year financial cash flow, understanding better what I needed.
How has it impacted you and your business?
Having the support has given me the confidence to take new actions every day. I have written emails and made calls that I wouldn’t have before now. It’s experience — something I can add to my resume, and business plan for funders and suppliers.
