Management consulting services for owners who need a decision, not a deck
Nine services for mid-sized companies and family groups in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Scoped in writing, led by senior consultants, fixed fee.
Thirty minutes. No deck. A senior consultant replies.
How to choose
Most clients arrive with a situation, not a service name. Start from yours.
You are about to commit capital. A feasibility study if the question is whether to build, market research if it is where, and a business plan once the project needs funding.
Growth has stalled, or costs have outrun revenue. Strategy consulting if the question is direction, operations consulting if it is execution, and people and organization if it is who decides what.
The next generation, an investor or a regulator is at the door. Governance and family business for the family and the board, financial advisory for valuation and the transaction, and digital transformation when the systems are what an investor will not accept.
Strategy consulting
Where to compete, how to grow, what to stop doing. Ends in a short list of choices, the numbers behind each, and a plan the executive team owns.
Typical trigger: the company has three growth options and cannot fund all of them.
Feasibility studies
Market, technical, legal and financial sections built to the formats Egyptian and Gulf banks and authorities use, with a model you can change yourself. The recommendation can be no.
Typical trigger: a bank or board has asked for the study before it will commit.
Business plans and financial models
Written for the reader who will fund it, whether that is a credit committee in Cairo or a family office in Jeddah. Every number traces to an assumption you can defend.
Typical trigger: a funding round or bank facility is on the calendar.
Market research and market entry
Demand sized from interviews, site visits and regional sources, then turned into an entry plan: which segment, city, channel and partner, in what order.
Typical trigger: the board wants to enter Saudi Arabia and nobody can say what it would take.
Financial advisory
Valuation, restructuring, capital planning and transaction support, independent of any bank or buyer. We do not arrange finance or act as a broker.
Typical trigger: a buyer or lender has put a number on the table and you need your own.
Operations consulting
We map how orders, cash and stock actually move, find where time and margin are lost, and redesign the process with the people who run it.
Typical trigger: revenue grew, margins did not, and nobody can say why.
Digital transformation
What to digitise, in what order, and which vendor to choose, with oversight on your side of the table. We sell no software, so the advice is vendor-neutral.
Typical trigger: an ERP project stalled, or three systems disagree.
People and organization
Who decides what, how the company is structured for the next stage, and how a change lands without losing the people who matter.
Typical trigger: every decision goes through the founder and the second layer is leaving.
Governance and family business
The rules agreed before they are needed: who owns, who works, who decides, and how the next generation comes in.
Typical trigger: the founder plans to step back and the siblings have not talked about it.
How engagements are scoped
- Written scope before we start. Question, deliverables, timeline and fee, signed. Changes go in writing too.
- Senior-led. The consultant on the scoping call is the one on the project and in the final presentation.
- Fixed fee per scope. Invoiced in stages. No hourly billing, no work added without a scope change.
- A decision at the end. A recommendation, its assumptions, and what would make it wrong.
Frequently asked questions
What management consulting services does Wills Business offer?
Nine: strategy, feasibility studies, business plans, market research, financial advisory, operations, digital transformation, people and organization, and governance. Most engagements combine two.
What is the difference between management consulting and business consulting services?
Nothing that matters to a buyer. Both mean outside advice on how a company is run. What matters is who does the work and whether it ends in a decision.
Can one engagement cover more than one service?
Yes, and it usually does. The scope names everything included, so there is no drift.
Which services do you offer in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
All nine. Feasibility, market entry and governance lead in Riyadh and Jeddah; business plans, financial advisory and digital lead in Dubai. Arabic, English or both.
