Strategic consulting contract

An adviser by your side, every month.

A fixed day in the calendar to think about the company with someone from outside: the numbers, the people, the prices, the investment, the next step. An annual contract, three plans, and you know what it costs from day one. It is an exclusive service: we only take on five clients.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Sound familiar?

Deciding alone is the most expensive part of owning a company.

Not for lack of ability. For lack of someone on the other side of the table.

There is nobody to talk to seriously

The team depends on you, the family does not know the business from the inside and the competition is no confidant. The big decisions end up being made alone, at the wheel.

Nobody tells you no

When the owner proposes, the room agrees. An idea nobody challenges reaches the end of the year without ever being tested.

What matters is always left for later

Prices, margins, succession, the new market. There is always some urgent matter of the day pushing aside what decides the next five years.

The numbers are only looked at year-end

The accountant closes the books, and only then do you see what can no longer be fixed.

A company rarely goes further than the person running it. An adviser does not decide for you: an adviser makes sure you decide.

The contracts

Three plans, a one-year commitment.

You choose the plan by how much presence you want by your side. All prices are per month and exclude VAT. Whatever the plan, we only take on five clients.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one costs nothing.

From the first coffee to the year-end review, you always know what comes next.

  1. Step

    First conversation

    We listen to the company, what keeps you awake at night and what you want done a year from now. From that comes the plan that fits you, or the answer that none does.

  2. Step

    Contract and fixed day

    The annual contract is signed and the day of the month for the meetings is set straight away, always the same one.

  3. Step

    Every month

    Each meeting has an agenda beforehand and ends with decisions, each with an owner and a deadline. Between meetings, the work moves forward on both sides.

  4. Step

    Year-end review

    We look at what has changed in the company over twelve months and you decide whether to renew, change plan or stop here.

Who it is for

We are the right choice if…

It makes sense to talk if:

  • The company is already up and running, and almost every decision goes through you.
  • You want someone from outside, with no position and no internal agenda, to think about the business with you.
  • You prefer a set day every month to calling a consultant only when the problem is already big.
  • You have growth, a new market, succession or the sale of the company ahead of you.

We are not for you if:

  • You are looking for someone to do the day-to-day work. The adviser advises and follows up; the adviser does not replace your team.
  • You want a one-off piece of work, with a start and an end. In that case one of the firm's other areas is a better fit.
  • You do not have time for the fixed day. Without the meetings, the contract is of no use.
FAQ

What people ask us before signing.

How much does it cost?
Essential €600, On-site €1,200 or Permanent €2,000 + VAT per month, with an annual contract. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Why an annual contract?
Because advice only works with continuity. In the first month we are still getting to know the company from the inside, and a major decision takes months to show results. A year is the time it takes to make it, follow it through and see the effect in the accounts.
What is the fixed day?
The day of the month for the meeting is set at the very start of the contract, always the same one. It goes into everyone's calendar and stops being a meeting that gets postponed.
Who do I talk to?
With Vinicius Barbosa, CEO of Smart's Business Consulting.
How many clients do you take on?
Five at most. It is an exclusive service, and that is why the limit exists.
Where do the company visits take place?
At your premises. Outside the north of Portugal, travel expenses are added.
What if I need more than the plan covers?
You can move up a plan at any time. Work that goes beyond advice (valuing the company, building the sales team, selling the company) is quoted separately.
Does what we discuss in the meetings stay between us?
It does. What is said in the meetings stays in the meetings.
