Business consultancy and coaching

Smart strategies for starting, growing or exiting your business

Gordian Solutions provides a clear view of your business right now and a pragmatic strategy to secure an ideal future.

When you’re busy with day-to-day tasks, it’s often difficult to focus on the bigger, future picture.

As a business consultant, I help you step back from where you are and concentrate on where you want to be. Most importantly, you’ll have a workable strategy for getting there.

Strategies for start-ups, business growth and exit

I work with small and midsize businesses in Sussex and Surrey. You could be starting out, looking for ways to grow an existing business or thinking about an exit plan.

I provide a fresh perspective along with the knowledge and resources you need to move forward.

My name is Paul Dallibar. I’ve been a business consultant and coach for over 20 years — but you’ll want to be certain that we can work together, so I offer a free no-obligation introductory session.

Some information about me

I’ve been an independent business consultant, advisor and coach for more than 20 years.

I’ve worked with hundreds of businesses, including over 800 start-ups, to resolve issues and get them on the pathway to where they want to be.

Being a business owner can be lonely. You can’t confide in your employees, and probably don’t want to take it home to your family. I’m an objective expert who will listen to you and provide valuable advice.

FAQs

You’ll probably have a few questions so I’ve answered some of them below. If your question isn’t there, please feel free to call me on 07815 134 432. I’d be happy to answer it.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

All kinds of business, both large and small. This includes not-for-profits such as charities.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with start-ups and established businesses in a huge variety of sectors — from financial and legal services and to tech, manufacturing and creative industries.

Put simply, no matter the industry sector, I can help you.

Does it matter that you’re not an expert in my particular industry?

Not at all. In fact, it’s an advantage because as an outsider, I can quickly see issues which may not be obvious to an industry expert.

When you’re close to a business, it’s difficult to view it objectively. It’s my job to offer a fresh perspective.

I don’t need to be an expert in your industry. In my experience, no matter the sector, the key issues nearly always revolve around people.

Which services do you offer?

My services cover four key stages in business: 

  • Start-up consultancy if your enterprise is in its early stages 
  • Business development consultancy when want to grow an existing business 
  • Business exit strategy for control over when and how you move on

Transition coaching which helps you work through the feelings, concerns and choices you’re facing

Do you offer online consultancy?

Yes, I can deliver consultancy services online.

However, face-to-face consultancy generally works more effectively. When I’m there, seeing you in your working environment, it helps me get a proper feel for the business. It works both ways because we can build a proper relationship.

How long does the process take?

It’s up to you. Right from the start, we’ll discuss the timescale so that we’re both happy with how long the process will take.

I’m not the sort of business consultant who will stick around for the sake of it. Once the new strategy is bedded in, and everyone is happy with it, that’s my job done.

Will you tailor your services according to what I need?

Always. Each business is different, as are the individuals within it. What works for one business will not necessarily work for another, so my services are bespoke.

Do you deliver staff training?

Yes. If we’ve introduced new skills and processes, I’ll make sure everyone is fully trained and completely happy with implementing them. If there’s a change of role, I’ll help the individual make a smooth transition.

Training can include financial planning (for non-experts), communication skills, one-to-one performance coaching, leadership skills and several more that I don’t have space to mention.
