| If you’re using this Handbook,
you must be interested in transatlantic business. So
you are probably already one of the 3,500 companies
of all sizes that are taking advantage of the British-American
Business Council (BABC) to build your transatlantic
business. If not, please read on . . .
The BABC is by far the largest transatlantic business
network, with 32 chapters and more than 3,500 member
companies based in all the major business regions throughout
North America and the UK.
“Our participation
in the BABC has brought us real
added value and played a key role in enabling us
to develop our networks and build our business”
Mervyn Phillips, Lloyds

We celebrated our 10th anniversary last year at our
Annual Transatlantic Business Conference in the British
Midlands. Following on from our 2005 Conference in Atlanta,
we’ll be holding our Annual Transatlantic Business
Conference for 2006 in London, from 30 March 30–2
April. I very much hope you will join us for this Conference
and take this great opportunity to network and develop
business with the hundreds of other companies from all
over North America and Europe that will be participating.
Our conferences are just one of the many ways in which
the BABC fulfils its mission to help companies build
their business by providing them with a transatlantic
business network and services. If you are looking to
establish or expand your business in almost any region
of the UK or North America, we have a regional chapter
right on the spot, ready and willing to help you.
“Membership of
BritishAmerican Business Inc in New York and London,
and through the BABC network provides tremendous
value for small companies. In the first few months
after joining, I secured a major consulting assignment
and three collaborative agreements by taking advantage
of its powerful online database and networking with
its members”

All our chapters know their regional markets well and
have a range of business services to offer you. They
also have member companies who want to do business with
you. You can use our network to develop business with
these companies in many ways: by visiting them face-toface;
by participating in our Annual Transatlantic Business
Conferences; by connecting with them through our passwordprotected
Online Membership Directory; or by leveraging our channels
to promote your services and products directly to them.
You can also take advantage of the many other business
services we offer, ranging from immigration assistance
and cross-cultural programmes, to marketing opportunities
and extensive corporate databases. So, if you want to
build your business in any of the 32 regions listed
after this article, please visit us at www.babc.org
and contact our chapters in the relevant region to find
out how they and we can help you.
I’ll leave the last word to one of our members,
our current chairman. David Birch, Partner, Wragge &
Co LLP, says: “We have acquired an ever-growing
string of excellent clients as a result of our participation
in the BABC, and our interaction with the BABC’s
many regional chapters. These include multinationals
on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as small and
medium-sized businesses, to whom we have secured introductions
– and subsequently cultivated – through
the BABC and its chapters.”
