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.
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 March 30-April 2. 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 throughout North America and Europe who will be participating.
| “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 TSB |
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 on the spot, ready to help you. All our chapters know their regional markets 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 with them face to face; by participating in our Annual Transatlantic Business Conferences; by connecting with them through our password-protected On-line 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.
| “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” Michael Batt, Founder, USAlliance Consulting |
I’ll leave the last word to another of our members, and our current chairman, David Birch, Partner, Wragge & Co LLP:
“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 smaller and medium-sized businesses, to whom we have secured introductions – and subsequently cultivated – through the BABC and its chapters.”
