Professional Biz Advise started when our founder left a corporate finance role to work directly with business owners who needed practical advice, not 80-page slide decks. Since 2014, we have completed over 340 consulting engagements across manufacturing, professional services, retail and technology sectors in England.
Our team of six consultants brings backgrounds in accounting, operations management, HR and digital transformation. Each engagement is led by a senior consultant who stays with your project from the diagnostic phase through to implementation. You deal with the same person, not a rotating cast of junior analysts.
We measure our work by your outcomes. If revenue does not grow, costs do not drop, or the problem does not get solved, we have not done our job.
What we do
We build 12-month and 36-month financial models using your real numbers. Cash flow forecasting, break-even analysis, pricing reviews, and capital allocation plans. Most clients see their first revised forecast within two weeks of engagement.
We map your workflows, identify bottlenecks and eliminate redundant steps. A typical engagement covers procurement, fulfilment, staffing ratios and supplier terms. Past clients have reduced operating costs by 8 to 22 percent within the first six months.
Ready to expand into a new market, open a second location, or launch a product line? We stress-test the plan before you spend the money. Market sizing, competitor mapping, risk assessment and a clear go/no-go decision framework.
Hiring the wrong manager costs roughly 2.5 times their annual salary. We help you define roles clearly, build interview frameworks, set KPIs that people actually understand, and create management structures that work for businesses with 10 to 200 employees.
We audit your current software stack, identify gaps, and recommend tools that match your budget. CRM selection, accounting system migration, inventory management platforms. We stay vendor-neutral and never take referral commissions from software companies.
When revenue is falling and costs are rising, you need a structured plan within days, not months. We conduct a rapid diagnostic in the first week, prioritise the three or four changes that will have the biggest immediate impact, and work alongside your team to execute them.
How it works
A 30-minute call where you describe the problem and we ask specific questions about revenue, team size, margins and timeline. No charge, no obligation.
We spend one to two weeks reviewing your financials, interviewing key staff and analysing your market position. You receive a written report with findings and recommendations.
Together we agree on priorities, assign responsibilities and set deadlines. Every action has a measurable target attached to it so progress is visible.
We work alongside your team for the agreed period, typically three to six months. Weekly check-ins track progress against targets and adjust the plan when circumstances change.
Common questions
Fees depend on scope. A focused financial review for a small business runs between £2,500 and £5,000. A full operational overhaul with six months of implementation support ranges from £12,000 to £30,000. We quote a fixed fee before work begins so there are no surprises.
Yes, if the startup has been trading for at least six months and has revenue. Pre-revenue businesses need a different type of support that falls outside our practice area.
Most of our diagnostic and planning work happens remotely via video calls and shared documents. For the implementation phase, we visit client sites in England as needed, usually once or twice per month.
Manufacturing, professional services, retail and technology make up about 80 percent of our client base. We have also completed engagements in hospitality, logistics and healthcare. If your sector is outside our experience, we will tell you upfront rather than learn on your budget.
We can usually schedule a discovery call within two business days. The diagnostic phase begins within a week of signing the engagement letter. Turnaround projects with urgent timelines get priority scheduling.
