VALUABLE
We know what your are thinking... because we don't like consultants too, which is why we are doing this differently...
Let’s get to it and cut the crap: you’re probably thinking, “I don’t need consultants waltzing in here, spouting jargon I already know, or pretending they get my business better than I do.”
Fair enough. You’ve built your company from the ground up, or suffered at the helm of a large corporate for a while, spinning plates and fighting fires - blood, sweat, and late nights - and the last thing you want is some slick suit telling you how to run it or how they would have done it differently without understanding why it is not always possible.
Or maybe you’re worried we’ll overcomplicate things, charge a fortune, and leave you with a fancy report gathering dust. We’ve heard it all, and we get it. But here’s the truth: Creating Valuable Ltd isn’t about preaching from a pedestal. We’re time-served business owners, leaders, innovators, founders or aging investors that want to make a difference and have some fun with it where the opportunity arises - been in your shoes, felt the grind - and we’re here to work with you, not dictate to you.
"Think of us as short-term hires for the heavy lifting, not know-it-alls with clipboards"
​
This page is your no-rubbish guide to why we’re different, what we bring, and how we smash the barriers stopping you from picking up the phone. Whether you’re a startup founder sweating a launch, an SME leader scaling without cracking, or an investor eyeing a fat exit, we’ve got your back. Full-time, part-time, or a casual project gig - we tailor it to what you need, not what we want to flog you. So, let’s dive in and tackle those doubts head-on.
​
This is a big read, but for the doubters out there struggling in silence, sat on the fence - you will find your answers below (or just contact us for a free chat - what's the harm in that);
You Know Your Business -
We Don’t Pretend Otherwise
“I Don’t Need Outsiders Telling Me What I Already Know”
​
You’ve lived your business - damn right no one gets it like you. Your team might be too close, too comfy, or too scared to challenge you. That’s where we step in. We’re not here to lecture or parrot your ideas in fancier words. We’re seasoned owners who’ve run the gauntlet - startups, scale-ups, exits - and we bring a sharp, unfiltered lens. You know what works; we spot why it’s stalling or how it could fly. Second opinions count, especially from folks who’ve been there, not just skimmed the textbook. One SME swore their pricing was fine - until we dug up a 10% profit leak they’d missed for years.
​
“Consultants Never Understand My Business”
​
Wrong crew, maybe. Us? We don’t swan in with generic slides and a one-size-fits-all spiel. We roll up our sleeves, sit with you - over a pint or a boardroom table - and dig into your reality. Laid-back chats or suited pitches, we match your vibe. Our team’s run businesses across the UK, Europe and much further - supply chain sh*tshows, cash flow panics, big sales wins. We’re not theorists; we’re realists who get it because we’ve lived it.
​
“It’ll Be Expensive and Pointless”
​
We’ve all heard the horror stories - consultants charging a bomb for hot air. Not us. We’re about value, not vanity. Full-time for a month to blitz a project? Done. Part-time to tweak pricing? Sorted. A quick gig to map a process? We’re there. No bloated retainers or endless waffle - just help that pays off. One SME turned a £10k process tweak into £50k profit in three months with us. That’s not pointless; that’s profit.
​
“You’d Never Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”
​
Think we wouldn’t? Actually, like we mentioned on our homepage, we will. Let’s sit down and figure out something that works for us both. We need to make a living, but you’ll always make much more. Here’s how we can engage:
​
-
No Win, No Fee: We deliver—launch a product, hit a target—if it flops, you owe zip.
-
Costs + Commission: Reasonable expenses covered, then a cut of the extra profit we generate above your baseline.
-
Time-Bound Project Fees: Fixed cost, bonuses for early wins, penalties if we drag our heels.
-
No Charge + Equity: For startups, we’ll consider a stake—let’s chat more.
-
Your Call: Any setup that fits your model—big firms share task upside; small ones get bespoke deals.
Unlike others, we won’t charge sky-high day rates or stretch projects to milk you dry. Not your typical consultancy—never will be. We’re flexible and fair—terms that work for both sides.
We’re Not Here to Boss You - We’re Your Extra Hands
Partners, Not Pontificators
​
Forget the stereotype of consultants barking orders. We’re not your overlords - we’re your squad. Need a company-wide overhaul? We’ll grind it out with you. Just a tiny fix - like a product’s packaging or pricing research? We’ll nail it. We slot into your vision, not the other way round. You set the pace, scope, style - casual over coffee or formal for your investors. We’re adaptable, not arrogant. A client called us “mates who’ve done it all” - spot on, because a real mate tells you how it is.
​
Tailored to You, Not Cookie-Cutter
​
You’re not some faceless corp, so why should our help be? Startups plotting a launch, SMEs scaling smart, founders prepping an exit - we mould it to fit. Full strategic roadmap? We’ll craft it. Quick CRM tune-up? We’ll dive in. Informal brainstorms or polished boardroom slides - we deliver what you need, no fluff. One client wanted a single product’s supply chain fixed - we saved them 15% in costs without touching the rest. Precision beats generic every time.
​
Fresh Eyes Beat Blind Spots
​
You’re the king of your castle - agreed. But even the best miss stuff. Your team might nod along, scared to rock the boat, or be too buried to see the big picture. We’re the fresh eyes - no baggage, no fear - to ask the dumb questions that spark brilliance. Why do debtor days creep up? Why’s that product’s margin rubbish?
We’ve no stakes but your win, so we call it straight and fix it fast.

Value Stream Mapping: Waste out, profit in - £50k extra for a client in three months just by doing the one thing every CEO, founder, MD wants to do and never finds the time to do - draw out the business end-to-end and challenge - but why do we do that? No, but why? - a thousand times...

The “Consultancy Stigma” Smashed
“They’ll Overcomplicate Everything”
Rubbish. We simplify—cut the fat, keep the meat. Clear, actionable help, not a 200-page thesis.
“They’ll Ignore My Team”
Not a chance. We lift your people—train, listen, empower. They’re your engine; we’re the turbo.
“It’s All Hot Air”
Prove us wrong. Give us a go on one of the charging mechanisms mentioned above. No harm in a conversation, if we can work together - great! If not then at least you explored it and miss out on something
​
“They’ll Lock Me In”
No chains. A week, a month, a project - then we’re gone if you’re sorted. Freedom’s our promise. Happy to be sensibly time bound - we won't drag things out to extend the billables, and happy to offer penalties if we do.
Casual or Corporate - Your Style, Your Rules
We’re not stuffy suits unless you want us to pitch to investors.
Laid-back Zoom with a brew, no probs? If you prefer, we’re "your mates with a plan".
Slick pitch to dazzle your board? We’ll polish up and deliver.
We’ve hashed it out in country pubs and vegas penthouses - what’s your vibe?
A startup loved our “jeans and whiteboard” style; an SME board raved about our “sharp and informal” pitch deck. Private Equity partners liked the tailored suit jacket with designer jeans and polished shoes mash up with deep dive analysis and validated 5yr forecast projections.
You set the tone; we make it work.
We Play Nice with Others (Yes, Even Other Consultants)
Collaborating for Global Success
Here’s a twist: we’re not precious. Other advisors in the mix? We’ll sync up. Need a niche guru? We’ll rope them in.
We’re seasoned generalists - extra capable hands - but we know when a specialist’s scalpel beats our toolkit. Paired with a tax whiz once - ops from us, numbers from them, client won big. Collaboration beats ego every day.
Weekly we advise and consult on various projects by collaborating with global top 10 consulting firms, adding our specific detailed industry expertise into their recommendations and research papers. Global research and advisory firms book almost daily telephone interviews with our team for input into all sorts of projects and thought papers.

So.....Why Us?
Because We’ve Lived It, We Love it and We Deliver
We’re not fresh-faced MBAs with a laptop we don't know how to use, and a dream.
We’re time-served owners, leaders and innovators - UK, Europe, Asia, America, the lot - who’ve built, broken, and bounced back. We’ve felt the sleepless nights, the cash flow crunch, the thrill of a deal sealed. That’s why we don’t mess about—we dive in, lift the load, and get you results.
Startups launch stronger, SMEs scale smoother, exits hit higher. One client said, “You’re like us, but with older yet sharper tools.” Damn right (but less of the older thank you).
