A business consultant looks at how your business actually performs, from pricing and costs to margins and operations, and gives you a clear plan to improve it. We focus on one thing: profit. We find the money you’re leaving on the table and show you, step by step, how to recover it. Every recommendation comes from running real businesses, not textbooks.
Practical, no-nonsense advice for UK SME owners, built on 30 years of real commercial experience. It includes a full review of your numbers, pricing and overheads, a prioritised profit plan, and hands-on support while you put it into action. We work with businesses in every sector, from our base in the Scottish Borders across the whole of the UK.
It is when the fee is fixed and the result is measurable. Small businesses usually see the fastest returns from work on pricing and margins: small corrections there often outweigh the fee many times over. We’re rated 4.8 out of 5 from 183 client reviews, and most clients who commit to the framework and follow our recommendations see a full return on the fee within 90 days.
Consultancy in the UK is usually billed by the day, so the final cost is anyone's guess. We work to a fixed fee agreed before we start, for a defined engagement: analysis of your numbers, a prioritised action plan and support while you implement it. No day rates, no open-ended retainers, no upsells.
Yes. We’re based in the Scottish Borders and work with SME owners across the whole of the UK, through our own team and our network of accredited consultants. The analysis is done on your numbers, so distance doesn’t change a thing.
The Management Consultancies Association puts the UK consulting sector at £20.4bn, with £5.9bn of it exported, making Britain one of the world’s leading consulting markets. Most of that serves large corporates. Carlton Scott brings the same discipline to SME owners at a fixed £1,495 + VAT, rather than corporate day rates.
