What we actually do

Three areas where we spend most of our time with clients. Each engagement starts with a two-week diagnostic so we understand your numbers before we suggest anything.

Growth strategy

We map your current revenue streams, identify the two or three with the best margin-to-effort ratio, and build a 90-day plan to scale them. Clients typically see a 12–18 % revenue lift in the first cycle.

Operational efficiency

We audit workflows, supplier contracts and staffing levels. One logistics client in Cardiff reduced fulfilment costs by £42,000 a year after we restructured their warehouse rota and renegotiated two carrier agreements.

Financial planning

Cash-flow modelling, pricing analysis and funding-readiness reviews. We prepare the numbers your bank or investor actually wants to see, including sensitivity scenarios for your worst quarter.

Started in Wales, working across the UK

Forward Biz Consultants was founded in 2017 by two former operations directors who were tired of watching small businesses get advice designed for FTSE 250 companies. Big-firm playbooks rarely translate to a 20-person manufacturer or a family-run hospitality group.

Our team now numbers nine consultants and two analysts, all based in Wales. We travel to clients when face-to-face matters, and run most of our weekly check-ins over video. A typical engagement lasts between three and six months, though some clients keep us on retainer for quarterly reviews.

We charge fixed project fees, not hourly rates. You know the cost before we start, and there are no surprise invoices at month-end. If the project scope changes, we re-quote and you approve it in writing first.
