Business Consulting pricing

Fixed fees, agreed before we start. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises. Pick the package that fits your situation, or ask us to build a custom scope.

Our three core packages

Each package begins with the same two-hour diagnostic session. The difference is how deep we go after that, and how long we stay involved. All prices are exclusive of VAT.

Monthly retainer option

Some clients prefer ongoing access rather than a one-off project. Our retainer gives you a named consultant who knows your business, available for regular check-ins and ad-hoc questions throughout the month.

The retainer costs £650 per month (minimum three-month commitment) and includes:

  • One 60-minute strategy call per month, scheduled at a time that suits you
  • Email support with a 24-hour response guarantee on working days
  • Quarterly review of your financial model with updated assumptions
  • Priority booking if you decide to run a larger project later

The retainer works well for businesses that have completed a Growth project or Full transformation and want to keep the momentum going without committing to another large engagement. About a third of our project clients move to this arrangement once the initial work is done.

Pricing questions we hear often

Do you charge by the hour?
No. Every engagement has a fixed fee agreed before we begin. We find this removes the anxiety of watching a clock tick and lets both sides focus on getting the work done properly. If the scope changes mid-project, we discuss it and agree a revised fee in writing before continuing.
What if I only need help with one specific problem?
The Diagnostic package is designed for exactly that. You get a focused session, a written report and a follow-up call. Many clients start there and decide later whether a larger project makes sense. There is no pressure to upgrade.
Is VAT included in the prices shown?
No, all prices on this page are exclusive of VAT. VAT at the current rate will be added to your invoice. If your business is VAT-registered, you can reclaim it as usual.
Can I pay in instalments?
For the Growth project and Full transformation packages, we split the fee into two payments: 50% at the start and 50% at the midpoint. The Diagnostic is payable in full before the session. Retainer fees are invoiced monthly.
Do you work with businesses outside Scotland?
Yes. Most of our diagnostic sessions and check-ins happen over video, so location is rarely a barrier. We have worked with clients in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. On-site visits outside Scotland may incur a small travel surcharge, which we quote in advance.
What happens if I am not satisfied with the work?
We set clear milestones at the start of every project. If at the first milestone you feel the engagement is not meeting your expectations, we will either adjust our approach at no extra cost or refund the unused portion of the fee. We have never had to issue a full refund, but the option exists because we think it is fair.
How quickly can you start?
Diagnostic sessions can usually be booked within five working days. Larger projects depend on our current workload, but typical lead time is two to three weeks from the initial conversation to the kick-off session.
