What to Expect at Your First Business Consultation

To make the most of your first consultation, we recommend preparing the following: a clear outline of your business idea or current business situation, any existing business documentation (business plan, financial statements, etc.), a list of specific challenges you're facing, your short and long-term goals, and questions you'd like to address. Don't worry if you don't have everything prepared—part of our role is to help you identify what you need. The more information you can provide upfront, the more tailored our guidance can be from the start.

Our initial consultations typically last 90 minutes to ensure we have sufficient time to understand your business needs and begin developing strategic recommendations. This includes approximately 30 minutes for you to present your business and challenges, 30 minutes for our consultants to ask clarifying questions, and 30 minutes to discuss preliminary insights and next steps. For complex business situations, we may recommend scheduling a follow-up session to dive deeper into specific areas. We believe in being thorough rather than rushed, as this first meeting lays the foundation for our working relationship.

Following your initial consultation, we provide a detailed summary of our discussion, including key insights and preliminary recommendations within 2-3 business days. Our team then develops a customized proposal outlining recommended services, action steps, and investment requirements based on your specific needs. If you choose to proceed, we'll establish a structured engagement plan with clear deliverables, timelines, and communication protocols. Our approach is designed to create tangible value from the very beginning, with each step building toward your business objectives.

Our consultation services are customized based on your business needs, so pricing varies accordingly. Initial consultations are offered at €250, which is credited toward future services if you choose to continue working with us. For ongoing engagements, we offer several structured packages ranging from €1,500 for targeted solutions to comprehensive partnerships that start at €5,000. We also provide flexible payment options and can develop phased approaches to accommodate various budgets. Our focus is on delivering measurable value that exceeds your investment, and we're transparent about costs from the beginning.

Yes, we offer comprehensive virtual consultations that maintain the same quality and depth as our in-person meetings. Using secure video conferencing platforms, we can conduct effective consultations regardless of your location. Our virtual sessions follow the same structured approach, with capabilities for screen sharing, collaborative document editing, and digital whiteboarding to facilitate productive discussions. Many clients actually prefer the convenience of virtual meetings, and we've developed effective techniques to ensure these sessions are just as engaging and productive as face-to-face interactions.

We take a data-driven approach to measuring success, establishing clear key performance indicators (KPIs) at the beginning of our engagement that align with your specific business goals. These might include revenue growth, cost reduction, market share expansion, operational efficiency improvements, or other relevant metrics. We implement regular review cycles to track progress against these benchmarks and make adjustments as needed. Our reporting includes both quantitative measurements and qualitative assessments to provide a comprehensive view of the impact our consultation is having on your business.
