About BCarm

We believe in making a difference to businesses by providing more than just protection and compliance - our risk management solutions go much further to enhance business performance and competitive advantage.

Putting you at the heart of what we do

Why BCarm?

We see "risk management" as so much more than just compliance and protection. We know how it can be used as a business enabler, can improve operational efficiency, build business resilience and drive employee engagement. We also help businesses looking to improve the competitiveness of their proposition using risk management. And the reason for this is that we see risk management as a combination of people, process, and vision (or leadership) and deliver solutions that bring all 3 together.

A Unique Combination

We do this by combining digital risk management systems, flexible "pay as you go if you need" Consultancy, and Engagement – which is our name for the continuous support we provide you and your people. Our solutions bring together the benefits of SaaS (data, accountability, transparency, efficiency, and defensibility) with expertise when required (there are no retained 3 - 5 year contracts) and a focus on people, who are generally the defining factor in managing business risk, whatever level in the business.

Making a difference

As a proactive, growth mindset business, making a difference is our DNA. We’d like to think we have helped hundreds of companies, looking to drive their business improvement and optimise risk management. We measure this with Net Promoter Scoring which reflects our commitment to delivering flexible solutions that enhance business performance and competitive advantage – beyond just compliance and protection.

Trust

It's an important word for us. We'll never sell you something you don't need or won't work for you and we will also deliver what we promise. We take the time to understand your risk management issues and needs and also your wider business drivers and objectives. This ensures any solution delivers a strong return on investment. This is part of our 4 step process and whilst many companies say they do something similar, what makes us different is that we do it! But don’t just take our word for it, see what our clients say.

People

People are at the heart of what we do. Our solutions will be implemented and used by people, and they will have different reactions to change and adoption and need to receive information in ways that work for them. You and your team will want to take different deliverables from our solutions. We understand this and that's why we take a personal approach with every client to understand their needs and work out how best to address them. This is what we call Engagement; we help you and your team engage with the solution and get the best out of it.

Growth Mindset

We are business people, so we are focused on the same challenges as you - how to maximise performance and traction, build employee engagement, align process, leverage data, build competitive advantage and resolve challenges and issues. We look to build solutions that deliver results and ultimately an ROI, we are always looking to improve and to help our customers do likewise. Risk Management is a discreet and often hidden performance lever so we help clients understand the wider business benefits that can be achieved.

Meet the team

We are a small and highly motivated team – think special forces as opposed to an infantry brigade. We work swiftly and efficiently to get our clients results and share a common passion to deliver a difference whenever we can.
