We work with owner-managed companies and mid-market firms across Northern Ireland and the wider UK. Our consultants sit alongside your team, identify what is actually slowing growth, and build plans you can execute within months, not years.
Professional Biz Counsel was founded by former CFOs, operations directors and sales leaders who got tired of slide decks that gathered dust. Every member of our team has run a P&L, hired staff and dealt with cash-flow crunches first-hand.
That background shapes how we consult. We start with your numbers, talk to your people, and map the gap between where you are today and where you want to be in 18 months. Then we stay involved through implementation, adjusting the plan as market conditions shift.
Our client base ranges from £2m-turnover family businesses to £80m regional groups. About 70 percent of our work comes from repeat clients or referrals, which tells us more than any award ever could.
Each engagement begins with a diagnostic phase. We scope the work tightly so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
We analyse your market position, customer data and competitive landscape, then build a 12-to-24-month roadmap with revenue targets, resource requirements and quarterly milestones. You get a plan your board can approve and your managers can follow.
Slow fulfilment, duplicated tasks and unclear ownership cost more than most directors realise. We map your processes end to end, measure cycle times and redesign workflows. Typical clients recover 15 to 25 percent of wasted capacity within six months.
Choosing the right CRM, ERP or automation platform is only half the battle. We help you define requirements, shortlist vendors, negotiate contracts and manage the rollout so the technology actually gets adopted by your staff.
From cash-flow forecasting and cost-reduction programmes to preparing for investment rounds, we give you the financial clarity that banks and investors expect. We have supported more than 40 successful funding applications totalling over £60m.
Rapid growth exposes gaps in management capability. We design leadership development programmes, restructure teams and coach senior hires through their first 90 days. Our approach is practical: fewer workshops, more on-the-job support.
Thinking about a new geography, vertical or product line? We run feasibility studies, build go-to-market plans and project-manage the launch. Recent projects include helping a Belfast manufacturer open distribution in three European markets within eight months.
Most consulting firms hand you a report and move on. We think that is where the real work begins. Here is what sets our approach apart.
No hourly billing surprises. We agree a scope, quote a price and stick to it. If the project takes longer than expected, that is our problem, not yours.
The person who pitches the work is the person who does the work. We do not staff projects with junior analysts and bill at partner rates.
Every engagement includes a 90-day follow-up phase. We attend your team meetings, track KPIs and troubleshoot blockers at no additional cost.
Our consultants have deep experience in manufacturing, professional services, tech and food and drink. That means less ramp-up time and more relevant advice from day one.
"We brought them in to fix our supply chain and ended up rethinking our entire operating model. Turnover grew 28 percent in the following year. The fixed-fee structure meant we could budget with confidence."
"Their financial modelling helped us secure a £4.2m growth loan from our bank at a better rate than we expected. They knew exactly what the lender wanted to see and coached us through every meeting."
"After 20 years running the business my way, I was sceptical about outside advice. Within three months they had identified £180k in annual savings I had completely overlooked. Honest, direct and worth every penny."
