Business consulting that fixes what's actually broken

Most consultancies hand you a 60-page report and disappear. We sit beside you, dig into the numbers, and stay until the change sticks. If your revenue has plateaued or your costs keep creeping up, that's exactly where we start.

Four steps from stalled to scaling

Diagnostic conversation

We spend 90 minutes on a video call walking through your P&L, your team structure, and the three things keeping you up at night. No charge, no obligation. By the end you'll know whether we can help, and roughly how long the engagement would last.

Deep-dive audit

Over two to three weeks we interview key staff, review your financial data, and map your customer acquisition funnel. We look for the bottleneck: the single constraint that, once removed, lets everything else move faster. This is not a generic SWOT exercise. We produce a short document with costed recommendations, ranked by impact per pound spent.

Implementation sprints

Each recommendation becomes a two-week sprint. We assign owners, set measurable targets, and check in every Friday. If a sprint isn't delivering within ten days, we pivot. Typical engagements run four to eight sprints.

Handover and quarterly check-ins

We document every process change, train your team, and step back. Then we schedule quarterly reviews for the first year so the improvements don't quietly unravel. You keep our mobile numbers.

What we actually do

Revenue and pricing strategy

We analyse your pricing against competitor benchmarks and customer willingness-to-pay data. One client raised prices 12% across two product lines with zero churn because we tested the increase on a single segment first and measured retention weekly.

Operational cost reduction

We trace every line of your cost base back to a decision someone made. Often that decision made sense three years ago but doesn't now. A distribution company we worked with cut warehouse costs by 18% simply by renegotiating two supplier contracts and consolidating shipments.

Leadership and team design

Growing past 15 employees breaks most org charts. We redesign reporting lines, write role specs that reflect what people actually do, and coach founders through the shift from doer to manager. The goal is a team that runs without you in the room.

Market entry and expansion planning

Thinking about a second location, a new product line, or selling into a different country? We build a financial model specific to your margins, test demand with low-cost experiments, and create a go/no-go scorecard so you can decide with data rather than gut feeling. A food-service client used this process to open a second kitchen in Manchester; they broke even in four months instead of the eight they'd budgeted for.

What changed for these companies

Artisan bakery interior with staff and fresh bread

Regional bakery chain, 4 locations

+31% net margin

Ingredient waste was eating 9% of revenue. We introduced a demand-forecast spreadsheet linked to weather and local-event data. Waste dropped to 3.2% within six weeks. The owner reinvested the savings into a delivery service that now accounts for a fifth of total sales.

Software development team collaborating in a bright coworking space

SaaS start-up, 12 employees

Churn cut from 6.1% to 2.4%

Their product was strong but onboarding took too long. Customers gave up before seeing value. We mapped the first-week experience, removed four unnecessary steps, and wrote an automated email sequence that pointed users to the one feature most correlated with retention. Monthly churn halved in two quarters.

Questions we hear often

How much does an engagement cost?
Most projects fall between £4,000 and £18,000 depending on scope and duration. The diagnostic call is free, and we give you a fixed quote before any work begins. We don't bill by the hour because that incentivises slowness.
Do you work with businesses outside England?
Yes, though most of our clients are based in the UK. We've run remote engagements for companies in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the UAE. Time-zone overlap matters more than geography.
What size company is the right fit?
We work best with owner-managed businesses doing between £500k and £15m in annual revenue. Below that threshold a founder usually needs a mentor more than a consultant. Above it, you likely need a larger firm with sector-specific analysts.
How quickly will we see results?
Some changes, like renegotiating a supplier contract, can save money within days. Structural shifts to your sales process or team design take eight to twelve weeks to show up in the numbers. We set milestones at the start so you always know whether we're on track.
What happens if the recommendations don't work?
Every sprint has a measurable target. If we miss it, we diagnose why and adjust before moving on. We've paused engagements twice when external factors made the original plan irrelevant, and in both cases we restructured the scope at no extra cost.
