Business Development Services
(For small and medium enterprises)
 
A NEW BREAKTHROUGH
 
The non-financial services needed for enterprises at various stages of their existence, from start-up to growth, are termed as Business Development Services (BDS). It refers to the provision of information, knowledge, skills and advice on various aspects of an enterprise. BDS can be defined as a conscious action performed by the BDS provider for the benefit of the receiver.

With globalization and increasing competition, the need has been felt to provide better management techniques, new technologies and novel approaches for developing micro and small businesses through well designed Business Development Services(BDS) initiatives.


ICECD, with the support of International Labour Organization (ILO) under the Ireland Aid Partnership Programme, implemented a pilot project on the  demand and supply of Business Development Services (BDS), in one of the most,
entrepreneurially advanced states of Gujarat, in India. The aim was to identify the needs for capacity building of BDS providers for effective delivery of BDS to potential and existing women entrepreneurs.
