Business consultant in GironaA business built over years deserves a calm, careful look.

Nobody knows your business the way you do. I bring a view from outside on the numbers, the operations and the brand, so that whatever you decide (carry on, grow or hand over), you decide with everything on the table.

Sound familiar?

  • You work more hours than ever and the bank balance does not show it.
  • You have a feel for which product and which customer bring in the most, but you have never seen it in figures.
  • Suppliers raise their prices and the day-to-day leaves no room to sit down and negotiate.
  • An agency has sent you a quote and you would like a second opinion.
  • The whole business lives in your head and nobody else could run it.
  • This year you have thought more than once about closing or selling.

Where is your business right now?

I'm thinking of closing

You have run the business for years, and age or the numbers are making you think about stepping away.

We put the data on the table to see what makes sense: give it new momentum, sell it or close it well. And I leave it ready for whoever carries it on.

I'm starting out

The business is launching or in its first years and is still taking shape.

We shape the business model, costs, prices and the plan for the coming months.

I want to grow

The business works and you want to scale without losing margin along the way.

I review costs, processes and the market so that growth rests on a solid base.

Consulting services

02

Operational efficiency

Your business does the same at a lower cost, without relying on your memory.

I assess how you buy, produce and serve: suppliers, hidden costs and processes. I leave it written down and standardised, as I did when structuring a purchasing department.

03

Managed rebranding

You renew your brand without losing time or budget to agencies.

I define the strategy, choose and coordinate designers and agencies, and control the budget for you. You decide; I handle the process.

Decision session

You make an important career decision knowing what you risk and what you stand to gain.

For individuals, not just companies: leaving a job, starting a business, investing or changing direction. I apply the same method to your case and give you my view from experience, in writing, on one page.

€90 · 60-minute video call

Fixed quote before we start. Finding a buyer and the transfer itself are handled by specialist services and your accountant; I get the business ready for that step.

The DAPE method: how I work

DAPE

A closed loop: what gets executed is diagnosed again. The context of each business decides how much weight each phase carries.

Frequently asked questions

Should I close my business or sell it?

It depends on whether the business is viable and whether someone can carry it on. The diagnosis reviews costs, revenue and the market to compare three ways out: turn it around, sell it or close it in an orderly way. If the way out is a sale, I get the business ready for it; finding a buyer and the paperwork are handled by specialist services and your accountant.

How much does the diagnosis cost?

From €480, with the price fixed before we start. The first conversation is free.

What does the diagnosis include?

I review costs, revenue, processes and the business model, and give you a report with the priorities in order.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Small and medium-sized businesses in any sector: those thinking of closing, those starting out and those that want to grow.

Do you only work in Girona?

In Girona I work in person. With businesses elsewhere, remotely.
