About Sig Biz Group

Our Beliefs

If you are reading this page then it is probably important for you to understand what we believe in and how we approach our work.

Sig Biz Advisors

What we wanted to do with Sig Biz Advisors was to help companies with a range of business issues, and to do so in a professional and cost effective manner.

We believe that developing the right corporate direction and the right marketing is a matching process. Matching the desires of the owners and managers, the capabilities of the employees and the resources available to the needs in the market place. As with many sound ideas, this may seem simple and even self-evident. Yet, if you listen to many presentations, and read many well known business books whilst they talk about needs in the market place and profit they rarely mention the desires of the owners - whether shareholders or owner managers. Like-wise the skills, experience and capabilities of the employees is usually mentioned in terms of what they lack, rather than in finding ways to use constructively.

Our work with a company includes careful examination of these points as well as thorough market examination. This is summed up for us in the phrase 'finding the path from your capabilities to your markets needs'.

SigBizInfo

The operation, now named SigBizInfo, was founded to fill the gap for global, succinct news and information covering the financial services sector. Whilst financial service companies have for some years been forming into global operations it is surprising that company news and information is predominantly national.

The original operation provided news on insurers and banks and also news on the insurance and banking markets. From the beginning the focus was on succinct informed reporting. The target market, senior and middle management within these sectors and also management within suppliers to the sectors.

Although updates to the orginal information service stopped at the beginning of 2002, SigBizInfo is working with Newslink to provide a new range of services. Full details can be found by following the SigBizInfo link at the top of the page. Free trial access is available.

Another SigBizInfo development is to provide information and news for for small and medium sized enterprises (SME) in the UK. As this new service develops,more information will be found by following the 'Small Biz Info' menu link.

Our market

There are two distinct markets served. The first is within the financial service sector. These are prominently large companies. The work with these companies related to strategy, direction, innovation and marketing.

The second sector is the UK SME sector and relates to all of the above work plus finding merger or acquisition targets, and more general business business advice.

Who is behind the company

The founder and current 100% owner of the company is Andy Miller. Andy spent 20 years in the financial services sector during which time he worked for a leading credit card company, a major international bank, a US finance house and a major European insurer.

Our Start

Andy founded his first company in Switzerland at the beginning of 1998, futurevantage GmbH. Futurevantage both offered consultancy and was the start of the financial service sector news and information service.

Whilst still in Switzerland we saw the need for a branding of the information business which conveyed what we did. SigBizInfo was conceived as short for Significant Business Information. Later, when the business was relocated to the UK, the new company was registered under the adopted brand.
