Entering the MIBBA's comes with a range of advantages – whether or not you eventually win.
The application process for the Made in Bury Business Awards will provide you with a valuable opportunity to properly appraise your business. Business owners are often so overwhelmed with the day-to-day running of their business that they do not get a chance to work on their business. The application process will often force you to adopt a new perspective on your business, encouraging you to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
The judging process, meanwhile, can be thought of as a benchmarking process. Judges will consider your application in comparison with other businesses within your sector. You will therefore have an opportunity to assess your position in relation to that of your peers and competitors.
Winning, of course, brings its own advantages. The MIBBA’s can generate fantastic publicity, and this can have a direct and dramatic impact on your business. Just as importantly, winning a MIBBA clearly differentiates you from your competitors, and can provide a real competitive advantage when seeking or retaining customers.
If you are seeking investment, demonstrating that you have received recognition as the best business in your field can really help your case. Similarly, you may find it easier to attract top quality talent as a result of your awards success.
