What happens in the free consultation?

We talk through your business, your goals and your current challenges. There is no obligation, and we will tell you honestly whether we think we can help.

Mainly small and mid-sized, owner-led companies, including family businesses, local and consumer businesses, professional services firms and founder-led technology companies.

Fees depend on the scope of work. We agree the scope, timeline and fee in writing before any engagement begins, so there are no surprises.

It varies. Some projects, such as a strategic plan or a financial review, are completed over several weeks. Others are ongoing advisory relationships. We will recommend what suits your situation.

Yes. Your financial information, plans and people are handled with full confidentiality, and we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Do you help with implementation, or only with the plan?

Both. We build practical plans and can stay involved to help your team put them into action and review progress along the way.
