Advisory Service

Startup Consulting

End-to-end support for founders, from first entity to first fundraise.

What This Is

Support built around the stage you're actually at

We work with founders from the first incorporation decision through to the numbers a term sheet will scrutinise — because we've watched enough startups grow to know which early decisions quietly become expensive later.

This isn't generic startup advice. It's the same rigour we bring to statutory audits, applied to the questions founders actually face: structure, cap table, compliance, and getting investor-ready before an investor asks.

Is This You?

What changes when you bring us in early

Without startup consulting

  • Entity structure decided without tax or investor implications considered
  • A cap table maintained in a spreadsheet nobody fully trusts
  • Compliance filings missed because no one clearly owns them
  • Financials that aren't investor-ready when a term sheet arrives

With startup consulting

  • Entity and structure chosen with fundraising and tax in mind from day one
  • A cap table that's accurate and audit-ready at every round
  • A compliance calendar tracked so nothing slips through
  • Financials ready to hand to any investor, any time
Where We Help

Four things every founder eventually needs

Entity structuring

Choosing the right entity type, jurisdiction and holding structure before it becomes expensive to change.

Cap table & ESOPs

Setting up and maintaining a clean capitalisation table and employee stock option pool from the start.

Investor-ready financials

Building the financial reporting and MIS that investors expect to see during diligence.

Compliance foundations

Putting the statutory and regulatory basics in place so growth doesn't get slowed down by avoidable gaps.

How We Engage

Four phases, one continuous engagement

We stay with you as the stage — and the questions — change.

01

Foundation

Get entity, registrations and founding documents right from day one.

02

Structure

Set up the cap table, ESOP pool and governance that will hold up through funding rounds.

03

Prepare

Build the financial reporting and data room investors will actually ask for.

04

Scale

Stay on as you grow, so compliance and reporting keep pace with the business.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

At what stage should we bring in startup consulting?

As early as possible — ideally before incorporation, since entity and structure decisions are the hardest to unwind later.

Do you help with fundraising itself?

We don't run the fundraise, but we make sure your numbers, cap table and data room are ready when investor conversations start.

Can you set up an ESOP pool?

Yes — sizing, structuring and documenting an ESOP pool is part of the cap table work we do.

Do you work with pre-revenue startups?

Yes, this is often exactly the stage where getting structure right matters most.

How is this different from Business Advisory?

This is startup-specific — entity, cap table, fundraise readiness. As you grow past early stage, our Business Advisory service continues the relationship.
