Practices

Seven services. All by senior people.

We don't subcontract junior work to outside teams. Every engagement is staffed by someone who has done the work before — typically across multiple jurisdictions and currencies.

  1. Strategy

    Business consulting

    Strategy work for owners deciding whether to expand, sell, restructure, or hold position.

    Honest answers, written down, with the trade-offs explicit. We tell you what we'd actually do.

  2. Intelligence

    Market research

    Find opportunities for your product or service in markets you don't yet operate in.

    Sized, segmented, named competitors, real customer interviews. Not a syndicated PDF.

  3. Go-to-market

    International marketing

    Enter new markets with positioning, channel selection, and messaging that translates.

    Bias toward depth in one or two markets first, before breadth.

  4. Deals

    Brokerage

    Bilateral introductions and deal structuring between European buyers, sellers, and intermediaries.

    Light industrial, software, and services — sectors where we know who is real.

  5. Capital

    Fundraising consulting

    Grow your business with the preparation work that happens before the first investor meeting.

    Narrative, model, data room, target list — and support through term-sheet and diligence.

  6. Innovation

    R&D services

    Research & Development project supervision for companies investing in new product capability.

    Technology scouting, vendor evaluation, proof-of-concept oversight when there's no internal expertise.

  7. Sourcing

    Procurement

    Sourcing crafted to your needs — vendor qualification and contract negotiation across jurisdictions.

    Particularly useful when buying from suppliers in unfamiliar regulatory environments.

Working principles

Three commitments.

The difference between a serious engagement and a fashionable one comes down to a few things we don't budge on.

i.

Senior-only delivery

The person you meet is the person doing the work. No bait-and-switch onto an associate the moment the contract is signed.

ii.

Written record

Every engagement leaves you with documents you can re-read in two years and still act on. Verbal advisory without artefacts isn't useful past the meeting.

iii.

Decline-when-wrong

If your problem isn't ours to solve, we say so on the first call and refer you to someone better placed. Most consultancies won't.

If you have something specific in mind, write directly.

Brief us with the actual question — the company, the markets, the decision you're trying to make. We'll tell you within a day whether we're the right fit and what an engagement would look like.
