Strategic consulting for critical decisions

Before you sign, invest or proceed, understand what you are actually assuming.

We assess counterparties, commercial risk, viability and decision scenarios to turn fragmented information into a defensible course of action.

International Commodity Transactions

Buyer advisory, supplier screening and EN590 verification

A focused specialism for high-value international transactions, including documentary, operational and counterparty review for EN590 10 ppm.

You do not need to engage us to learn whether the case fits.

Five questions before proceeding

If one answer is unclear, you do not yet have a decision. You have exposure.

  1. Who ultimately controls the counterparty?
  2. Can the figures and capabilities be evidenced?
  3. Which assumption carries the expected result?
  4. What happens in an adverse scenario?
  5. What is the exit if something fails?

Practical application

Three situations where analysis changes the decision

Commercial transaction

An offer looks attractive, but the supply chain does not withstand scrutiny.

Identity, capacity, documentation, intermediation and economic coherence are tested before funds are committed.

Project and investment

Sales forecasts are ambitious, but cash cannot support the growth.

Scenarios, working-capital needs, sensitivity and breakpoints are modelled to decide on real numbers.

Direction and execution

The business knows what it wants but cannot turn it into a roadmap.

Decisions, owners, deliverables, timing and metrics are prioritised without building a permanent department.

Size is not the deciding factor. Readiness is.

Are we the right fit?

A founder-led business, a start-up and an established company do not need the same scope. We define the intervention around the decision, exposure and available resources.

We are likely to be a fit if…

  • You have a specific decision, risk or objective.
  • You want independent judgement and usable deliverables.
  • You can share the information required for the review.
  • Your budget is proportionate to the scope.

We are unlikely to be the right fit if…

  • You are selecting solely on the lowest price.
  • You need guarantees that no adviser can responsibly provide.
  • You expect open-ended work without scope or shared accountability.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers before engagement

How do you protect confidential information?

We minimise the data requested, restrict access and agree channels appropriate to the risk. Sensitive material is shared only within the agreed scope and with your authorisation.

What if the diagnostic challenges our initial view?

The purpose is independent judgement, not confirmation. We separate facts, assumptions and uncertainty so that the decision remains defensible.

How does an engagement begin?

We first assess fit, objective, timing and available evidence. If the case fits, you receive a written scope, exclusions, deliverables and fees.

Finance, viability and restructuring

In a business crisis, the missing elements are often distance, order and time

You may already sense where the problem begins. We help you measure its extent, identify what threatens viability and decide what comes first.

We analyse cash, margins, debt, structure, operations and business exposure. Where needed, we coordinate legal, tax or specialist input under defined responsibilities.

  • Financial and banking readiness
  • Viability and continuity diagnostic
  • Early restructuring coordination
  • Business and asset exposure assessment
