How We Work


We only connect you with professionals we trust. Tell us what you need, and we’ll introduce you to the right expert — with no obligation. Our priority is advice that’s trusted, compliant and commercially focused.

The BDC Network is designed to make trusted advice simple to access. Rather than spending time searching for help, you can ask us to connect you directly with a specialist who understands your goals. We only introduce advisers we genuinely trust, so you can be confident in the support you receive. Tell us what you need, and we’ll help you take the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the BDC Network?

It is a community of trusted professional partners who offer compliant, high-quality services to their clients through BDC Legal Services. You strengthen your advice offering without needing your own legal team.

How does partnering benefit my business?

You add a valuable safeguarding solution that builds trust and opens additional revenue opportunities. We handle all legal work, while you remain your clients’ primary adviser.

How do referrals work?

We simply introduce you to our Partners when a client needs support with financial or legal areas that the partner specialises in. We work directly with them on your behalf, keeping you fully updated with progress.

What support do partners receive?

We provide partnership materials, branded or white-label, along with regular training and dedicated support. You always have what you need to confidently introduce the service.

Will this increase our compliance burden?

No. We manage the legal process end-to-end, including registration. Our work follows guidelines from the Office of the Public Guardian and the Financial Conduct Authority where relevant.

How quickly can we become a network partner?

Once we confirm suitability, onboarding is fast. Most partners start introducing clients within days, with full support from our team.
