International
Business Consultancy
I help startups and established businesses build, grow, and scale in an increasingly global marketplace. My consultancy supports businesses with strategic, operational, and commercial challenges, from developing business strategies and preparing for growth to exploring new markets, funding opportunities, international expansion, and cross-border operations. My approach is practical and collaborative, helping business owners understand their options, make informed decisions, and put strong foundations in place for sustainable growth.
Consultancy Services
Before providing tailored consultancy, I begin with an initial consultation. Every business is different, so I take the time to understand your objectives, current challenges, stage of development, and opportunities before recommending the right approach.
- Format: Online
- Duration: 30 – 60 minutes
During this session, I will:
- Understand your business goals and objectives
- Review your current challenges and opportunities
- Consider your growth plans, potential markets, IP and operational needs
- Identify where my expertise can support your business
If we agree to move forward, I will recommend the appropriate structure, frequency, and scope of ongoing consultancy. The initial consultation has a fixed fee, with ongoing consultancy agreed on a case-by-case basis.

With over 25 years of experience working with startups and international businesses, I have developed expertise in:
- Startup strategy and early-stage growth
- International market entry and global expansion
- Cross-border business and operational strategy
- Intellectual property and international trademark strategy
- Strategic planning for family-owned and founder-led businesses

International Startup Group Programmes
I help entrepreneurs and startup teams benefit from structured peer learning and expert guidance in an international business environment. Groups can focus on general business growth or specific challenges such as:
- Launching in new markets

- Scaling operations across borders
Group programmes bring together entrepreneurs facing similar challenges, creating opportunities to share experiences, ideas, and practical solutions while building accountability and momentum.

- Ongoing support is designed for founders, executives, or teams who benefit from continued strategic input across their business, operations, or projects.
The purpose is to strengthen decision-making, develop strategic awareness, and turn challenges into actionable solutions. Group supervision is also available for startup founders and business leaders facing similar challenges.

This may include global partnerships, joint ventures, or projects spanning multiple countries or regulatory environments. I help participants understand the challenges, align their strategies, and work towards clear, informed, and cohesive decisions across jurisdictions.
