Are we a match?

This is where we find out whether working together makes sense for you and your business.

Not every business owner is the right fit for this work.

 

And that’s intentional.

This tends to work well if
  • you’re running a successful, growing business

  • you’re dealing with increasing complexity and responsibility

  • you’re making decisions that carry real commercial weight

  • you want clarity, not just more ideas

  • you’re open to being challenged in how you think and lead

This is probably not right if
  • you’re looking for quick wins or tactical advice

  • you’re very early stage without meaningful traction

  • you want someone to tell you what to do, rather than challenge your thinking

  • you’re not ready to engage honestly with the decisions in front of you

When this works well 

the impact is

significant 

  • clearer, more confident decision-making

  • stronger commercial performance

  • a business that becomes less dependent on you

  • more alignment across your leadership team

  • greater momentum, without constant firefighting

My fees are bespoke and reflect the scale, complexity and ambition of the work we do together. Clients categorise my fees as an investment — one that delivers measurable returns in increased sales, profits, and / or shareholder value.

I typically work on the following commercial basis:

  • Fixed project fee, minimum £10,000. 

  • Monthly retainer, minimum £1,200.

  • Call-off agreement (on-demand support), minimum £2,000.

While I prefer project-based or retainer arrangements, when hourly billing is required, my rate is £600.

“I was referred to Alan by an industry contact who said Alan was the best investment he’d ever made.

I have to agree!”

Sam Cox, Director, Landscapeplus

In certain circumstances, particularly where there's strong alignment with my ideal client profile, I may agree to success-based arrangements, such as a share of:

  • Increased profits.

  • Equity investment raised.

  • Enterprise value on exit.

All fees are agreed in advance and co-created through open discussion. I work with entrepreneurs where there’s mutual respect, meaningful business challenges, and the potential for extraordinary outcomes.
