Biz Expertise Network started as a two-person operation in 2017. Today our team includes nine consultants with backgrounds in finance, supply-chain management, digital transformation and HR restructuring. We have completed over 140 engagements for companies ranging from £500K to £30M in annual turnover.
Most of our clients come to us at inflection points. Maybe sales have plateaued. Maybe a founder is preparing for an exit. Maybe a new regulation has thrown a spanner into a process that used to run smoothly. Whatever the trigger, we dig into the numbers, talk to the people doing the work, and build a plan that the business can actually execute, not a 90-page slide deck that sits in a drawer.
Our headquarters sit in Scotland, but we serve clients across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Remote workshops and on-site visits are both part of how we operate, depending on what the project needs.
Six core consulting practices, each led by a specialist with at least a decade of hands-on experience in that discipline.
We map your current revenue streams, identify which ones can scale and which are draining resources, then design a 12-month growth roadmap with quarterly milestones. Clients who follow the full roadmap see a median revenue increase of 18% in year one.
A four-week deep dive into your P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow forecasts. We flag hidden cost leaks, benchmark your margins against industry data, and recommend concrete changes. The average client recovers £42K in annual savings from this exercise alone.
High staff turnover costs more than most leaders realise. We audit your hiring pipeline, onboarding process and retention metrics, then redesign the parts that leak talent. One manufacturing client reduced annual attrition from 31% to 14% within eight months of working with us.
We observe how work actually flows through your organisation, from order intake to delivery. Then we eliminate bottlenecks. Typical projects run six to ten weeks and target a 15-25% improvement in throughput without adding headcount.
Choosing the wrong software wastes money and morale. We evaluate your current tech stack, shortlist vendors that fit your size and budget, manage the implementation timeline, and train your team. Projects typically span three to five months.
Regulatory changes in the UK can catch businesses off guard. We run compliance audits, build internal control frameworks, and prepare your documentation for external inspections. Clients in financial services and healthcare rely on us for ongoing quarterly reviews.
Four stages, clear deliverables at each one, and no surprises on the invoice.
A 45-minute video call where we learn about your business, your pain points and your goals. Free, no obligation.
Two to three weeks of data gathering, interviews with your team, and analysis. You receive a written diagnostic report with prioritised recommendations.
We work alongside your team to execute the plan. Weekly check-ins, shared dashboards, and hands-on problem solving keep things on track.
At the end of the engagement we measure results against the baseline, document what changed, and hand you a playbook so improvements stick after we leave.
Real feedback from businesses we have worked with over the past two years.
"They found £67K in annual cost savings we had completely overlooked. The diagnostic report was thorough, specific and actionable. We implemented the top three recommendations within six weeks."
"Our staff turnover was bleeding us dry. The people-and-culture audit identified exactly why good employees were leaving. Twelve months later, our retention rate is the best it has been in a decade."
"The digital transformation project replaced three clunky legacy systems with one integrated platform. Training was practical, not death-by-PowerPoint. Our order processing time dropped from two days to four hours."
Answers to the things prospective clients ask us most often.
It depends on scope. A financial health check starts at £3,500. A full growth-strategy project for a mid-sized company usually falls between £8,000 and £18,000. We quote a fixed fee after the discovery call so there are no hourly-rate surprises.
Yes, if the startup has been trading for at least 12 months and has revenue. Pre-revenue companies usually need mentoring rather than consulting, and we can recommend partners who specialise in that stage.
Most of our diagnostic work happens remotely through video calls, shared documents and screen-recorded walkthroughs. For operations improvement projects we typically visit the site two or three times during the engagement to observe workflows first-hand.
Quick wins often surface within the first month. Structural changes, such as a new pricing model or a reorganised team structure, usually take three to six months to show measurable impact. We set specific KPIs at the start so progress is never a guessing game.
Our strongest track records are in professional services, logistics, healthcare and manufacturing. That said, the frameworks we use adapt well to any B2B company with £500K+ turnover. We will tell you honestly during the discovery call if your sector falls outside our expertise.
