Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often from UK small businesses evaluating Ballygarvey for data analysis and capital efficiency decisions. If you don't find what you're looking for, reach out via our contact page.
What exactly does Ballygarvey do?
Ballygarvey is an AI-driven analysis platform that helps small businesses evaluate capital allocation decisions and assess risk using historical and ongoing data. We provide structured reporting and backtested scenarios rather than generic advice, so decisions can be grounded in your own numbers.
Who is Ballygarvey built for?
We work primarily with small and medium-sized businesses in the United Kingdom that need clearer visibility into capital efficiency and risk exposure but don't have an in-house data science or analytics team to build this themselves.
Do I need technical or data science experience to use the platform?
No. The platform is designed so that business owners and finance leads can interpret outputs without specialist training. Reports are structured around decisions you already make — allocation, risk tolerance, and forecasting — rather than raw statistical output.
How is my business data used?
Your data is used to generate analysis and backtested scenarios specific to your business. We do not sell client data to third parties. For full detail on handling, retention, and your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
What kind of data do I need to provide?
This depends on the scope of analysis you're after, but typically includes financial records, operational metrics, and historical performance data relevant to the decision being evaluated. During onboarding we clarify exactly what's needed before any analysis begins.
Can Ballygarvey guarantee investment or financial outcomes?
No. Ballygarvey provides analytical tools and backtested insight to support decision-making; it does not guarantee future results. Backtesting reflects historical data under defined assumptions and is not a promise of future performance. All outputs should be considered alongside your own judgement and, where appropriate, professional advice.
How long does it take to get set up?
Onboarding time varies depending on the complexity of your data and the scope of the analysis requested. We'll give you a clearer estimate once we understand your specific requirements during an initial conversation.
Is Ballygarvey a replacement for an accountant or financial adviser?
No. Ballygarvey is an analytical tool intended to complement, not replace, professional financial, legal, or tax advice. We recommend reviewing significant decisions with a qualified adviser alongside the insight our platform provides.
How does backtesting work on the platform?
We apply your defined strategy or scenario against historical data to see how it would have performed under those past conditions. This helps surface potential risks and sensitivities before a decision is implemented, though past conditions will not exactly repeat.
What does it cost to work with Ballygarvey?
Pricing depends on the scope of analysis and ongoing support required. Contact us with some detail about your business and goals, and we'll discuss options suited to your situation.
Can I stop using the platform or request my data be removed?
Yes. You can discontinue use at any time. Requests regarding data deletion or export are handled in line with our Privacy Policy — please contact us to initiate this process.
How do I get started?
The best next step is to request a platform overview. We'll discuss your business, the decisions you're trying to inform, and whether Ballygarvey is a good fit before any commitment is made.
