Consulting

Business
Strategy

Strategy, operating model, and growth for small and
medium enterprises. Advice that comes with delivery.

The challenge

Small and medium enterprises are over 70% of the market, but strategy consulting was never built for them. The big firms price them out, the frameworks assume a corporate machine that does not exist at this size, and the advice arrives as a deck with nobody left to execute it. Meanwhile the questions are real: where to grow, what to stop doing, how to price, when to hire, how to fund the next stage, and how to keep the business resilient while it scales.

Our approach

We advise, we build, we deliver. Strategy starts with the numbers you already have: your margins, your pipeline, your cost base, your market. We work with the owner and the management team directly, size the real options, and pick a direction you can fund and staff. No 200-page deck. A clear plan, the operating model to run it, and the priorities in order.

Then we stay. The same team that shaped the plan builds what it needs: the processes, the reporting, the dashboards, the delivery. Strategy and execution are one engagement, sized and priced for an SME.

What we deliver

  • Business strategy and growth plan: where to play, how to win, in what order
  • Operating model design: structure, roles, processes, and decision rights
  • Market and competitor analysis grounded in your actual position
  • Pricing and margin review with concrete moves, not theory
  • Business planning for funding, banking, and investor conversations
  • Performance management: the 10 numbers the owner should see every week
  • Risk and resilience built into the plan, not bolted on after
  • Execution roadmap with owners, milestones, and our delivery support

Typical outcomes

  • A strategy the owner can explain in 2 minutes and fund in full
  • An operating model that fits the size of the business today and the next stage
  • Decisions made on numbers instead of instinct
  • A management rhythm that keeps running after we leave
  • Growth with the risk understood and priced in

Typical engagements

Strategy sprint: 4 to 6 weeks with the owner and management team to set direction, priorities, and the plan to fund them.

Operating model redesign: Restructuring how the business runs when it has outgrown the way it was set up.

Growth and market entry: Sizing a new market, product line, or region, and building the entry plan, including Canada, the US, and the GCC.

Owner advisory: A standing advisor relationship: monthly working sessions, the numbers reviewed, decisions pressure-tested.
