Article: Business Advice Article Body Barnsley Development Agency (BDA), a part of Barnsley Council, offers a range of advice to businesses as well as community and voluntary groups. The Investment and Development team provides a dedicated point of contact to assist any business thinking of investing in the area. It also provides guidance including commercial sites and premises information, financial assistance and recruitment advice as well as employee training needs and support for community groups and their activities that will result in jobs and training opportunities.
