Business consulting that actually changes how you operate
We sit with owners and managers of small and mid-sized companies in Glasgow and across Scotland. Together we look at the numbers, talk to the team, and figure out what to fix first. No 80-page reports that gather dust.

The situation we often find
Revenue is flat or growing slowly. Margins have thinned over the past two years. Key staff are stretched thin, and nobody is sure which products or services are actually profitable. The owner spends most of their week firefighting instead of planning.
Sound familiar? About 70% of the businesses that contact us describe some version of this picture. It is not a failure; it is a growth ceiling, and almost every company hits one.
What changes after we get involved
Within four to six weeks, you will have a clear view of your cost structure, know exactly which revenue lines justify investment, and hold a 90-day action plan with named owners for each task. We do not hand you a strategy deck and disappear. We stay for the first implementation cycle so the plan survives contact with reality.
Most clients see measurable margin improvement within the first quarter. Some need longer. We tell you honestly which camp you are likely in before we start.
What we do for you
Four core areas of consulting, each tailored to where your business is right now.
Financial health review
We dig into your P&L, balance sheet and cash flow over the past 12 to 24 months. You get a plain-English summary of where money leaks out, which cost lines have crept up, and what your break-even really looks like once you strip out one-off items. Takes roughly two weeks from data handover to final report.
Operational restructuring
If your team is busy but output is stalling, the problem is usually in how work flows between people and departments. We map your processes, identify the three or four bottlenecks that cause the most delay, and redesign those workflows. We run a two-week pilot with your staff before locking anything in.
Growth strategy
Expanding into a new market, launching a product line, or acquiring a competitor? We build the financial model, assess the risks, and create a timeline with milestones. Our clients use these plans to secure bank lending, pitch to investors, or simply decide whether the opportunity is worth pursuing at all.
Leadership and team coaching
Founders who have grown their company from five people to forty often find their management style no longer fits. We work one-on-one with directors and senior managers over a three-month programme, covering delegation, difficult conversations, hiring decisions and performance management. Sessions happen fortnightly, either in person at our Glasgow office or over video.
How an engagement typically runs
Discovery call
A 30-minute conversation, free of charge. We ask about your business, your goals and what is frustrating you most. You ask us anything you like. No sales pitch.
Diagnostic phase
If we agree to work together, we spend one to two weeks gathering data, interviewing key people and observing operations. You pay a fixed diagnostic fee agreed upfront.
Recommendations
We present findings and a prioritised action plan. Everything is written in language your team can act on. We walk through it together so there are no surprises.
Implementation support
We stay involved for the first 90 days, joining weekly check-ins and adjusting the plan as real-world results come in. You keep full ownership of every decision.
Common questions
Let's talk about your business
Whether you have a specific problem in mind or just a nagging feeling that things could work better, get in touch. The first conversation is always free.
