Advanced services for companies represent a sector in constant expansion in developed countries. We only need to remember that in the last two decades the number of people working for them has trebled in the countries of the European Union.
However, their importance is not limited to this large quantitative growth. Today, advanced services for companies play a key role in the majority of the innovative processes taking place in industrial and tertiary companies. For these companies, this type of service represents an essential way to improve costs, to incorporate highly qualified technical and professional knowledge into their decision making process, and to obtain expert information about new products, new processes or new markets. In short, access to these services provides an essential link in improving productivity and achieving better competitive positions.
Consequently, it should not seem strange that nowadays, in any area, one of the most powerful ways to attract new economic activities, especially those of large transnational companies, is the provision of the own advanced services to companies.
BCF Consultors is a consultancy firm specialised in the different service sectors, with special attention to that of services to companies, places this web page www.serveisempreses.com at the disposal of companies, public institutions and professional organisations. In it, access can be found to basic information for more than 9,000 companies that have their headquarters in Catalonia and carry out this kind of activity.
The team responsible for putting together this webpage have great experience in this sector, which they have accumulated over eleven years working on improving each edition.
Aware of the importance and changes of the business services sector has improved the new edition in:
1. Exhaustive and comprehensive updating of the companies directory guaranteeing, in this way, its credibility.
2. Updating the composition and denomination of the sectors of activity.
3. Including a new sector for Internet companies. Evidently, including emerging sectors on the market implies the risk of a certain lack of definition of these firm's activities. Nonetheless, we have decided to take this risk, increasing the information value provided by the data contained in the web.
With the support from the four collaborating institutions: the Economic Promotion, Tourism and Commerce Area of the Barcelona City Council; the Economic Promotion Services of the Association of Municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona; the Catalonia Council of Official Chambers of Commerce Industry and Navigation and the Catalonian Commercial Promotion Consortium (COPCA), the webpage aims to provide company directors and public Administrations agents with a better knowledge of the supply and the configuration of the world of advanced services in Catalonia as one of the factors that can improve their competitiveness and business success.
