International
Business Consultancy
I help startups and established businesses embrace the challenges of building, growing, and scaling in a global marketplace. International business consultancy is a collaborative process between a consultant and a client, aimed at addressing strategic, operational, and commercial challenges, from market entry and funding strategy to international expansion and cross-border operations.
Consultancy Services
Before offering tailored advice, I begin with an initial consultation. Every business is unique, and startups have specific challenges, so it’s essential to understand your objectives, growth stage, and international opportunities before recommending a way forward.
- Format: Online
- Duration: 60 minutes
During this session, I will:
- Understand your business goals and startup ambitions
- Review current challenges, international opportunities, and potential markets
- Assess your operational setup and growth readiness
- Determine whether my expertise is likely to be helpful
If we agree to move forward, I will propose the structure, frequency, and scope of ongoing consultancy sessions. The initial consultation has a fixed fee. Fees for ongoing work are agreed on a case-by-case basis.
Specialised Expertise
With decades of experience helping startups and international businesses, I have developed expertise in:
- Startup strategy and early-stage growth
- International market entry and global expansion
- Cross-border operational and regulatory strategy
- Intellectual property and trademark protection worldwide
- Strategic planning for family-owned and founder-led startups
- Business restructuring, partnerships, and joint ventures
International Startup Group Programmes
I help entrepreneurs and startup teams benefit from structured peer learning and expert guidance in a global context. Groups can focus on general business growth or specific challenges common to startups, such as:
- Launching in new markets
- Securing international investment or partnerships
- Scaling operations across borders
Peer learning groups are particularly valuable when shared insight and accountability accelerate progress. Group programmes are offered when they are likely to deliver more value than individual consultancy alone. Decisions about individual vs. group programmes are made during the initial consultation or after a brief assessment period.
Strategic Supervision & Advisory
Supervision can be one-off or ongoing.
- One-off sessions provide immediate guidance on a specific startup or international business challenge.
- Ongoing supervision is for founders, executives, or teams who benefit from continued reflection on strategy, operations, or multiple projects over time.
The purpose of supervision is to strengthen global decision-making, deepen strategic awareness, and develop actionable solutions. Group supervision is also available for startup founders and business leaders facing similar challenges.
Multi-Stakeholder International Consultancy
This service is for startups and businesses requiring input from multiple professionals across jurisdictions. Examples include global partnerships, joint ventures, or projects involving multiple countries or regulatory environments. The goal is to help all participants see challenges clearly, align strategies, and make informed, cohesive decisions internationally.
Webinars & Masterclasses
Take part in webinars and masterclasses that bring practical learning to life. With a focus on business, intellectual property, and entrepreneurship, these sessions create space to learn, connect, and grow through shared experience and expert guidance.
- Startup strategy, funding, and growth
- International market entry and expansion
- Global intellectual property and trademarks
- Leadership and team dynamics in cross-cultural environments
- Business resilience, sustainability, and compliance across borders
Webinars provide both theoretical insight and practical, actionable guidance for startup founders and international business leaders.
