Investing.com -- Begbies Traynor Group plc announced Monday it is rebranding as BTG Consulting plc to better reflect its expanded range of services beyond its traditional insolvency and restructuring roots.

The financial and real estate advisory group has evolved over the past decade into a broad-based advisory business, achieving compound annual growth rates of 13% in revenue, 20% in adjusted profit before tax, and 8% in dividends.

Under the new structure, the company will market its services across eight distinct lines: restructuring, deal advisory, funding and insurance, financial advisory, valuations and asset advisory, agency and auctions, projects and developments, and property management and insurance.

The company will maintain BTG Begbies Traynor as a sub-brand for formal insolvency appointments and BTG Eddisons for its real estate advisory business, preserving recognition of these market-leading positions.

BTG will continue to report financial results through two operating divisions: Restructuring and advisory, and Real estate.

The company has applied to Companies House to formalize the name change and will update its TIDM code to "BTG" once approved. Its website will change to www.btguk.com.

Mark Fry, CEO, stated: "This change reflects the evolution of the Group in recent years into a broad-based advisory business." He added that the rebranding would help the company leverage its expertise to "enhance, protect and realise the value of our clients’ businesses, assets and investments."
