Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the FAQ page for Ember Advisory. We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked by potential clients. If your question isn’t listed here, feel free to get in touch; we’re always happy to help.

1. What services does Ember Advisory offer?

We specialise in strategic business consulting for small to medium-sized enterprises. Our core services include business development, sales strategy, operational efficiency, performance analysis, leadership coaching and change management. We also offer bespoke consulting packages based on your business goals.

2. What industries do you work with?

While we work across a wide range of industries, we have particular expertise in automotive, retail, professional services and start-ups. That said our strategic approach is adaptable; we focus on understanding your specific business model, regardless of sector.

3. Do you work with start-ups or only established businesses?

We work with both. Whether you're in the early stages of building your business or looking to scale an established operation, we tailor our support to meet you where you are. Our goal is to help you grow sustainably and strategically.

4. How do you charge for your services?

We offer flexible pricing depending on the nature and length of the project. Options include fixed-fee project work, monthly retainers for ongoing support, or hourly consultancy rates. We’ll always provide a clear proposal upfront, so there are no surprises.

5. How long do consulting engagements typically last?

This varies. Some clients work with us for a one-off project lasting a few weeks, while others retain our services over several months to support ongoing transformation. During our initial consultation we’ll recommend a timeframe based on your specific needs.

6. Can you help if I only need advice on one specific area of my business?

Absolutely. We’re happy to offer focused support on a particular challenge or opportunity,  whether it’s streamlining your operations, boosting sales performance or developing your leadership team.

7. What makes Ember Advisory different from other consultancies?

We’re not here to hand over a generic playbook and walk away. We take a hands-on collaborative approach combining real-world business experience with practical strategies that are tailored to your goals. Our clients value our honesty, insight and results-driven mindset.

8. How do we get started?

The first step is a no-obligation discovery call where we learn more about your business, challenges and ambitions. From there we’ll outline how we can help and what a potential engagement might look like. You can book a call directly via our contact page or email us at enquiries@emberadvisory.co.uk.

9. Do you offer remote consultancy or only in-person support?

We work flexibly. Most of our clients use a combination of remote and in-person support depending on what works best for their teams. We’re happy to adapt our style to suit your business and preferences.

10. Can you provide references or case studies?

Yes, we can share anonymised case studies upon request and references from clients who have worked with us in similar scenarios. Just let us know what you'd like to see.
