Business Guidance That Respects Your Intelligence
Running a business in Scotland means dealing with real challenges. We provide practical support and straight answers—no jargon, no pretension.
Have a Conversation
You're Not Alone in This
Running a business comes with moments when you need someone to talk things through with. Someone who understands what you're dealing with and won't waste your time with theoretical advice that doesn't work in the real world.
Perhaps you're starting out and finding there are more unknowns than you expected. Or you've been going for a while and realise that managing people is more complex than you anticipated. Maybe you're beginning to think about what comes next, and wondering how to prepare.
These are natural stages of business ownership. They're also times when having an experienced perspective can help you see options more clearly and make decisions with greater confidence.
A Straightforward Approach
Listen First
We start by understanding your specific situation, not applying a standard template. Every business faces different challenges.
Practical Options
We discuss what might work for you, acknowledging constraints and realities. No impossible recommendations.
Ongoing Support
Business challenges don't appear according to a schedule. You have access to guidance when you need it.
What Changes Look Like
From Uncertainty to Clarity
When you're facing a decision, having someone to talk it through with can help you see the situation more clearly. Not because they have all the answers, but because the conversation itself helps you organise your thinking.
From Reactive to Proactive
Many business owners find themselves constantly dealing with what's urgent rather than what's important. Working together, we can help you create space to think ahead rather than always catching up.
From Isolated to Supported
Running a business can feel isolating. Having a regular check-in with someone who understands the challenges means you're not figuring everything out alone.
Experience You Can Rely On
Based in Glasgow
We understand the Scottish business environment because we work in it every day. From regulatory requirements to local market dynamics, our advice is grounded in the reality of operating here.
Over the past eight years, we've worked with businesses across sectors—from technology start-ups to established family firms. Each one has taught us something about what works in practice.
Professional Background
Our team includes chartered accountants, experienced managers, and former business owners. We've been through the challenges ourselves, which means we can speak from experience rather than theory.
Let's Have a Conversation
No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a straightforward discussion about your situation and whether we might be able to help.
No Pressure, No Obligation
When you get in touch, we'll arrange a time to talk. There's no commitment involved—it's simply a conversation to see if working together makes sense for both of us.
If it doesn't seem like a good fit, we'll say so honestly. And if we can point you towards someone who might be more suitable, we will.
