A business consultant. They will do the work for you (like an accountant). For example a business consultant would do a diagnostic for a client to identify where they may be able to improve their business. Like a combination of marketing, compliance, sales, organizing logistics, post sales, then systemizing it all. The whole 9 yards. If a client then asks if you can do this for them, that is consulting. Price is like anything, you pay for what you get. Consultants can charge £1,000 to £2,000 per day. There are other options like; consultancy for equity, or as a non executive director, you share them with other non related companies, they may be happy to share in any future growth they assist with. This one is a bit of a no brainer; if they create an extra £10 profit will you give the person who made this possible £5. Most people miss this completely! If you want someone to help you increase your turnover by 10, 20 30% or more, how much is that worth to you? All the above are business advisors, and can help guide you through the day to day pitfalls of running or growing a business. To what extent is determined by their skill, their understanding of their clients’ needs and how to meet those expectations. Also, if the advisor and client get on with each other (it may not be a good fit). The most important thing, when looking for advisors is do your background checks, speak to them, and ask challenging questions. One obvious and simple question is; have they ever run their own business? There seems to be a lot of advisors out there who have never run a business, knocked a door or made a cold call, yet have watched a you tube video or read a book and happy to share their knowledge with you for a price. Some are just cheer leaders. Don’t get me wrong it’s important to feel good, but will it put money in your pocket? Also don't be too surprised if they turn you down. The good ones have a healthy case load. I have turned many clients away because we just don't gel (and that's very important for both parties). That said I’ve never met one that won’t spend the time to answer a question or have a quick chat. Sorry for the long explanation, I hope it helps.
