Running a business is exhilarating, but it’s also challenging. No matter what stage you’re at—start-up, scale-up, or preparing for exit—you’ll face hurdles that require expert insight. That’s where business consultancy comes in.
Through my Business Advice & Consultancy services, I provide entrepreneurs, leaders, and executives throughout Sussex with strategic guidance to navigate complex challenges, unlock opportunities, and drive growth.

This instant access to a wealth of experience can accelerate your success; it’s a lot quicker to invest in an injection of ready-made expertise than finding your own way.

"One of our biggest issues was how to grow our business. Alan has been instrumental helping us do that. My clients are typically successful business owners working towards exiting their business. Alan knows when to encourage them to push through, and when they need to do things differently. Having owned and sold businesses himself, he has been 'in their shoes' and has the perfect credentials and experience to help my clients along their journey."

Learning
Sussex Client Story: First Round Funding
An early-stage Sussex based SaaS (Software as a Service) business was ready for first round funding. I supported the business by advising on the creation of its first Investment Memorandum, including clarifying its proposition and explaining what was required from potential investors’ points of view. This resulted in a crowdfunding round which beat its targets. The company is continuing to grow significantly, disrupting the sector in which it operates.
