Why clients choose SGI

Every other consultancy in the UK specialises in one aspect of business development. Business plan writers who can't advise on operations. Startup consultants who don't serve established businesses. Growth consultants who've never secured funding.

We're the exception. SGI delivers complete business consulting across three interconnected pillars — Business Planning, Startup Consulting, and Growth Consulting — from one team, with one methodology, and no gaps.

One team, complete expertise

You work directly with a senior SGI consultant from your first conversation through to delivery. No junior handoffs, no account managers reading from briefs. The person who understands your business is the person doing the work.

Evidence-based, not opinion-based

Every recommendation is grounded in our 12-year dataset: 2,000+ business plans, 100+ industries, and over £250M in funding facilitated. We know what works because we've seen what doesn't.

Honest qualification

We only take on clients we genuinely believe we can help. Some conversations end with us telling a founder their idea needs more development before they approach funding. That honesty is what produces a 90% success rate.

Our three service pillars:

  • Business Planning — Investor-ready plans for bank loans, Start Up Loans, investor funding, grants, visas, and franchises
  • Startup Consulting — End-to-end support from concept validation through Series A preparation
  • Growth Consulting — Revenue optimisation, operational efficiency, and scaling strategy for established SMEs

73% startup funding completion rate — that's 5.6× the industry average of 13%, because we prepare founders properly before they approach investors, not after they've already been rejected.

What your free consultation covers

Your 30-minute session is a genuine working consultation, not a discovery call. We'll assess your specific situation across whichever of our service areas is most relevant and give you immediate, actionable insight.

Business planning and funding

For entrepreneurs preparing a business plan or funding application:

  • Honest assessment of your funding readiness and where the gaps are
  • Identification of the most appropriate funding route for your situation
  • Review of your current plan or pitch materials if you have them
  • Clear next steps to a submission-ready application

Startup consulting

For founders at concept stage through to pre-Series A:

  • Business model assessment using our Business Success Formula framework
  • Go-to-market strategy review and competitive positioning analysis
  • Investor readiness evaluation — what you need before approaching funding
  • Structured roadmap from your current stage to your next milestone

Business growth consulting

For established businesses seeking to scale or break through a revenue plateau:

  • Revenue and margin analysis using our Engine Optimisation (EO) framework
  • Identification of the specific constraints holding back growth
  • Operational efficiency review across marketing, sales, and operations
  • Prioritised action plan targeting the highest-impact improvements first

What you'll leave with:

  • A prioritised action plan with your top 3 most impactful next steps
  • A clear assessment of where your business stands against the funding, growth, or operational standard you're aiming for
  • An honest recommendation on whether SGI is the right partner for your next stage — and if so, exactly what that engagement would look like
  • No obligation, no follow-up sales calls unless you ask for them
