......Make widely available through intermediaries with the Business Improvement Tool for Entrepreneurs (BITE) and other comparable self-assessment diagnostic tools.

....One area where BITE has only just touched, for example, is in the intermediary professions, such as accounting. There are various ways in which we can promote a wider involvement, working through the professional bodies. One way to do this could be to integrate involvement of BITE within Continuing Professional Development (CPD) structures, so that professionals can learn more about its use as a part of their own growth.

Note to Cécile
There are coding conventions in business. The old one was the SIC code, standard industrial classification and now it\'s pretty much ISO. So your term is OK for say a newspaper or magazine articles but not in a technical, industry-related text. Does that make better sense?
