Standard toolkits don’t work for a small business.
Speed, closeness to your market, hands-on management: your strengths come from your size. So do your difficulties. Not enough time, not enough resources, no in-house expertise — and an owner who is usually alone when decisions have to be made.
2024 data, FPS Economy / European Commission (SBA fact sheets), non-financial business economy. EU SME definition: micro < 10 persons and < €2M; small < 50 persons and < €10M; medium < 250 persons, < €50M turnover or < €43M balance sheet.
No one masters on their own every skill a small business needs.
Your needs are varied, whether they are problems to solve or opportunities to seize. So we work as a network: our expertise where it genuinely adds value, and a referral to better-qualified colleagues when the question calls for it.
But beyond the skills a company lacks, the owner of a small business is usually alone when facing decisions. He or she rarely has someone competent to discuss strategic options and difficult trade-offs with. That is where our main contribution lies: support over time rather than one-off assignments, on a clear, contained and economical budget.
The emphasis is on understanding and on plans you can actually carry out, rather than on handsome presentations — and on measurable results rather than recommendations that commit no one to anything.
A survey first, then a plan.
We start by identifying and describing your needs, together. That conversation should bring out concrete lines of improvement, with an action plan that is handed over to you.
If you are considering handing over your business, or if you know the question will arise within five years, the first two-hour meeting is free: understanding your personal situation, that of your company, and identifying the options open to you.
Leave us your details.
We call you back within 48 hours, at a time that suits you. Describe your situation in a few lines: it lets us come prepared to the first conversation.
