Business consulting that actually changes the numbers

We work with owner-managed companies across Scotland. Our job is simple: find the problems costing you money, fix them and leave you with a business that runs better without us in the room.

Four weeks from diagnosis to action plan

Most consulting firms hand you a 90-page deck and disappear. We stay until the changes stick. Here is what the first month looks like when you bring us in.

1

Week one: commercial diagnostic

We interview your leadership team, review your last 12 months of management accounts and walk the operation. By Friday we have a one-page summary of the three to five issues that matter most to your margin.

2

Week two: root-cause analysis

Numbers tell you what is wrong; they rarely tell you why. We dig into process maps, supplier contracts and team structures. We talk to the people doing the work, not just the people managing it.

3

Week three: costed options

Every recommendation comes with a price tag, a timeline and a projected return. You will see what each option costs to implement, what it saves or earns, and how long before it pays for itself.

4

Week four: implementation kick-off

We assign owners, set milestones and build a simple dashboard so you can track progress without another meeting. If you want us to stay on for the execution phase, we offer monthly retainers starting at a fixed day rate.

Practical advisory across five areas

Revenue growth strategy

We analyse your sales pipeline, pricing structure and customer segments to find the quickest route to more revenue. Typical engagements last eight weeks and target a 15–25% increase in gross margin within 12 months.

Operational efficiency

Where is the time going? We map your workflows from order to delivery, identify bottlenecks and reduce wasted effort. One food-manufacturing client cut fulfilment time from nine days to four after a six-week project with us.

Exit and succession planning

Thinking about selling in the next two to five years? We help you build a business that looks attractive to buyers: clean accounts, documented processes, a management team that can run things without you.

Risk and cash-flow modelling

We build scenario models that show what happens to your cash position if a major customer leaves, if interest rates rise by two points, or if you take on that new warehouse lease. No spreadsheet guesswork.

Leadership and team design

Growth stalls when the org chart stays the same. We help you decide which roles to hire, which to outsource and how to structure reporting lines so decisions happen faster.

What clients ask before they sign

Our diagnostic phase is a fixed fee of £3,500 plus VAT. Implementation retainers range from £1,800 to £4,200 per month depending on the scope. We agree all fees before work starts and there are no hidden charges for travel within Scotland.

Occasionally. Most of our clients are based between Edinburgh and Aberdeen, but we have worked with firms in the north of England and remotely with a logistics company in Belfast. If the fit is right, geography is not a barrier.

Our sweet spot is owner-managed businesses with annual turnover between £2 million and £30 million. At that scale, changes in strategy have a direct and measurable impact on the bottom line, and the decision-makers are in the room.

A part-time finance director focuses on reporting and compliance. We focus on commercial change: pricing, market positioning, operational redesign, team structure. There is overlap in cash-flow planning, but our remit is broader and more action-oriented. Several of our clients use both.

Yes, and most clients do exactly that. The four-week diagnostic is designed as a standalone deliverable. You get a full report and action plan whether or not you decide to continue working with us.
