Corporate Captain reported hitting a bird and then having to deviate.

Narrative

On DATE we were departing from ZZZ around XA:00 local time. We operate a type aircraft and was departing ZZZ to ZZZ1 to return to our home base with 4 passengers onboard. I was flying as PIC of the trip. Shortly after takeoff; we noticed a small flock of large black birds. We estimated the number to be around 5. During this critical phase of flight there was nearly no time to react. One bird struck the nose of our aircraft around 400 ft AGL. It created a loud thump noise throughout the cabin. The pilot monitoring and I accessed the situation and decided the plane was flying as it should; with no indication of engine damage or unusual flight characteristics. Due to the weather impact of ZZZ we decided to fly under 200 kts and head to a more serviceable airport. We diverted to ZZZ2 and checked in with ZZZ Approach to get a VFR clearance into the Bravo then land at ZZZ2. During cruise flight our passengers made us aware that there was blood on our left wing as well. We landed safely at ZZZ2 and parked at [the] FBO. We got out to check the damage and was surprised to see the nose cone damaged significantly. Part of the bird was inside the nose compartment as it made a hole and good size dent to the nose of the aircraft. There was blood as well on the left wing also around the right engine. After a closer look there does not seem to be any damage to the blades of the right engine. We talked to Company at ZZZ3 and to determine what the next steps are. We grounded the aircraft at ZZZ2 and will be in further discussions with maintenance to determine what the next steps will be to get our plane back home safely.
