I provide business advisory services on a remote basis for businesses where I believe I have something to add to the project and have done so since 2005

I also provide services as a cofounder, that is helping to implement the advice given - for example in a recent project I have worked with the founder to recruit, and manage agents in the UK, Trinidad and the Netherlands (with more agents in the pipeline)
