However, it is important to follow specific guidelines to ensure clarity and maintain the integrity of both your brand and BDC's. You should use the official BDC consultant badge and clearly state your role as a consultant. Your name or business name should be the primary focus, with the BDC partnership mentioned as a secondary identifier. For more details, you will find a reference tool on the extranet on BDC’s Brand Guidelines.
You have an obligation to pass on any opportunities mentioned directly or indirectly to your Project Lead.

As soon as you feel that it will be impossible to meet the deadline for the mandate, advise your Project Lead immediately. The situation will be analyzed and a solution will be proposed.
