Let’s Talk

Tell me what you’re working on.

Maybe you’re thinking about starting a business. Perhaps you’re looking for a supplier, exploring a new opportunity or trying to improve something in your existing business.

Whatever it is, I’d like to hear about it. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly which service you need. Just tell me a little about your situation, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens after you get in touch?

  1. First, I’ll read through your message and get back to you.
  2. If it looks like something I can help with, we’ll arrange a short initial conversation to understand your requirements and discuss possible next steps.
  3. If there’s a good fit, I’ll prepare a proposal outlining the work, deliverables, timing and costs.

No pressure, no obligation. Just a straightforward conversation about what you need.

A few things you might be wondering

I have a business idea, but I don’t know where to start. Can you help?

Absolutely. That’s one of the situations I enjoy working on. We can explore the idea, research the market, look at possible business models and identify the questions that need answering before you invest in it.

Do you work with businesses that are already established?

Yes. I also work with existing businesses looking to explore new opportunities, improve their digital presence, evaluate technology or find more effective ways of working.

What if I don’t know which service I need?

That’s perfectly fine. You don’t need to know the name of the service or have a detailed brief. Tell me what’s happening and what you’d like to achieve. We can work out the most suitable approach together.

Can I hire you for just one specific task?

Of course. You can commission a focused research assignment, supplier search, website project or technology assessment without committing to a larger engagement.

Is the first conversation free?

Yes. The initial conversation is free and is intended to understand your situation, discuss your objectives and identify possible next steps. Detailed research, audits, reports and implementation work are paid services.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. I’m based in Portugal and work remotely with clients in Portugal and other countries.

Can you implement the solutions you recommend?

Where appropriate and agreed, yes. This can include website development, technology setup and workflow automation. Some projects are focused exclusively on research and recommendations.

Do you guarantee business results?

No consultant can honestly guarantee the commercial outcome of every business decision. Markets change, circumstances differ and results depend on many factors. What I can commit to is a clearly defined scope, careful research, transparent communication and practical recommendations based on the information available.

How much do your services cost?

It depends on what you need, how much research is involved and what the final deliverables look like. Once I understand your requirements, I’ll provide a proposal with the scope, deliverables and price before any paid work begins.
