About Pennine Edge Business Advisory
What this site is
We're a small team who spend our time explaining how business consultancy works. Not selling it — explaining it. The idea is to give owners and managers a clear picture of what different advisors do before they spend money on one.
What we cover
The guides work through the main areas you're likely to run into. A few examples:
- Business strategy consulting, and what it actually produces
- How operations consultants improve the way a business runs
- Where the value sits in financial management consultancy
- What a growth advisor does when you're scaling up
- Turnaround and restructuring, when things have gone wrong
We also look at the practical side — like working with a consultant based in Manchester city centre, and what to expect from the first few weeks.
How we write it
Short and plain. We answer the question first, then explain it. If a type of consultancy is often oversold, we say so. If it earns its fee, we say that too.
Who it's for
Business owners, directors and managers in and around Manchester who are weighing up outside help and want to understand it properly first.
About the area
Manchester, in Greater Manchester, has plenty of history of its own. For background on the town itself, its Wikipedia page is a good place to start.
