Trusty Business Consult started in 2018 with a straightforward goal: give owner-managed businesses the same quality of advice that large corporations get from big-four firms, at a price that makes sense for a company with ten to two hundred employees.
Our consultants have backgrounds in retail operations, manufacturing logistics, SaaS product launches, and hospitality management. That range matters because the problems a growing business faces rarely fit into one neat category. Cash flow might look healthy until you realise your inventory cycle is eating margin. A strong sales team can mask a weak onboarding process. We look at the whole picture.
Every engagement starts with data. We pull numbers from your accounting software, your CRM, your HR records. Then we sit with your team, ask hard questions, and build a plan that your people can actually execute after we leave.
Six core service areas. Each one is scoped, quoted, and time-boxed before any work begins.
We map your current revenue streams, identify where margin leaks, and design a 12-month growth plan with quarterly milestones. Most clients see measurable revenue lift within the first two quarters.
We spend two weeks embedded with your team, timing workflows and documenting bottlenecks. The deliverable is a prioritised list of fixes ranked by cost-to-implement versus time saved per month.
Cash flow forecasting, breakeven analysis, pricing model reviews. We build spreadsheets your finance team can maintain themselves, not black-box models that gather dust.
Hiring the right person costs less than firing the wrong one. We audit your recruitment funnel, onboarding process, and retention metrics, then redesign whatever is broken.
We evaluate your current tech stack, recommend replacements where ROI is clear, and manage the migration. Recent projects include moving a 45-person firm from spreadsheets to a proper ERP in eight weeks.
GDPR audits, supply-chain risk mapping, insurance gap analysis. We produce a risk register with likelihood and impact scores so your board can make informed decisions about what to mitigate first.
Four phases, typically completed in six to ten weeks depending on scope.
A 45-minute video call where we learn about your business, your pain points, and your goals. No charge, no obligation. By the end you will know whether we are the right fit.
We request access to your financial reports, operational data, and org chart. Our team analyses the numbers and interviews key staff. This phase takes one to two weeks.
You receive a written report with specific, costed recommendations. Each item includes expected impact, implementation timeline, and who on your team should own it.
We stay involved for four to six weeks while your team executes the plan. Weekly check-in calls, ad-hoc Slack access, and a final review meeting to measure results against targets.
Real feedback from business owners we have worked with.
"They found £38,000 in annual savings we had completely overlooked. The operations review paid for itself within the first month."
"Our hiring process was a mess. Three months after their people audit, time-to-hire dropped from 47 days to 19 and our first-year retention rate jumped to 88%."
