Industries we work in across Egypt and the GCC
We are not a sector specialist. The decisions repeat across sectors: whether to build, where to grow, how to fix what no longer scales, how to run the company after the founder. What changes is the data, the regulator, the lender's expectations and the cost structure.
Thirty minutes. No deck. A senior consultant replies.
Real estate and construction
Developers, contractors and landowners in Cairo, the New Administrative Capital, Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai.
The decisions: what a plot should become; whether a development still works when construction and finance costs move; whether a contractor's margin problem is pricing, procurement or site management.
Services: feasibility studies, operations consulting, financial advisory.
Retail and consumer goods
Retail chains, distributors, franchisees and consumer brands selling in Egypt and the Gulf.
The decisions: which stores, cities or channels to open next and which to close; franchise or own brand; how to price when import costs move; whether the margin problem is in buying, the store or the warehouse.
Services: market research, strategy consulting, operations consulting.
Manufacturing and industrial
Factories and industrial groups in 10th of Ramadan, 6th of October, Sadat City, the Saudi industrial cities and the UAE zones.
The decisions: whether to build a new line or plant; export or serve the Gulf locally; how to hold margin when energy and import costs rise; whether an ERP will fix the planning problem or expose it.
Services: feasibility studies, operations consulting, digital transformation.
Food and beverage and hospitality
Restaurant groups, food producers, hotels and catering companies across Cairo, Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai.
The decisions: franchise or company-owned; whether a hotel or plant is worth building at this site and size; how to fix a group whose outlets each run differently; how to price a menu when inputs move monthly.
Services: feasibility studies, market research, business plans.
Healthcare
Hospitals, clinic chains, diagnostic centres, pharmacies and medical distributors.
The decisions: whether a facility is viable at this location and case mix; how to grow from one site to several without losing clinical and financial control; how to prepare for an investor who wants governance the founder never needed.
Services: feasibility studies, strategy consulting, financial advisory.
Education
School groups, universities, vocational institutes and training companies.
The decisions: whether a campus is viable at this fee level and catchment; whether to take an international curriculum licence; how to run a group of schools as one organisation.
Services: feasibility studies, market research, people and organisation.
Logistics and transport
Freight forwarders, warehousing operators, last-mile companies and fleet owners on the Egypt, Saudi and UAE corridors.
The decisions: whether to build a hub at this location and size; whether to follow customers into Saudi Arabia; how to price and route when fuel and currency move; how to get a company built on relationships to run on process.
Services: operations consulting, feasibility studies, digital transformation.
Financial services and fintech
Non-bank lenders, payment companies, insurance brokers, investment firms and fintechs that have found a market and now need to run like a company.
The decisions: which segments to build the next three years around; how to produce a plan a regulator or investor will accept; how to value the business before a round. We build the regulator's requirements into the plan; we do not give regulatory advice.
Services: strategy consulting, business plans, financial advisory.
Family-owned groups
Family groups spanning several of the industries above, usually in their second or third generation.
The decisions: who runs the group next and how that is decided; how to separate family matters from company matters; how to bring in a non-family executive or an outside investor; whether to keep, sell or split a business that no longer fits. Most of this work runs in Arabic.
Services: governance and family business, strategy consulting, financial advisory.
Not on the list?
These are the industries we see most, not all the ones we work in. Energy, agriculture, media, technology, professional services: the decision is usually one we have made before in another setting. If we are not the right firm, we will tell you who is.
