Growth choices
Where to put scarce time and capital next: markets, products, partnerships, or a deliberate pause. Options ranked, with a recommended path.
Strategic consulting
Clear priorities
for owner-led companies.
Scandhurst helps SMEs decide what matters next — growth, operating focus, and discrete market moves — without theatre.
A founder-led practice for principals who want counsel they can use, not a slide deck they cannot.
Who we help
Owner-led SMEs.
Specialised firms — often family or founder-led — where one or two people still own the hard choices. We work best when the decision-maker is in the room.
Operating focus
What to stop, what to protect, and what to change in how the company actually runs — so strategy is not only a document.
Discrete moves
A market entry, a partnership, a sale preparation, or a board-level decision that needs an experienced outside mind — conflict-checked and scoped.
What we do
Strategic consulting, three shapes.
One practice. Packaged as a short project, ongoing counsel, or a selective board seat — never a menu of workshops.
Strategy projects
A defined mandate over weeks, not years: situation, options, and a plan the owner can act on. Fixed fee when the scope is clear; a short diagnostic first if it is not.
Ongoing counsel
A retainer for principals who want a steady outside sparring partner — priorities, trade-offs, and follow-through between board cycles.
Board & advisory
Selective seats. A few days a month. The same client set, the same fence, the same allergy to theatre.
How we work
Lean on purpose.
Founder-led. No bench to bill. No reason to prolong the work once the decision is clear.
Defined scope
Fixed-fee as the default. Open-ended hourly is the exception, not the offer.
Decisions you can use
A recommended path, owners named, next steps dated — not a catalogue of frameworks.
Discreet and selective
Few mandates at a time. Conflict-checked. Built for a side practice that must stay honest.
Mandates are conflict-checked. We do not take competing work against the founder’s primary industrial board role. That fence is a condition of the practice, not a slogan.
Contact
A conversation is the right first step.
Write to us, or leave a short note. If the mandate is not a fit — including on conflict — we will say so quickly.
