Frequently Asked Questions
It’s critical to get things underway quickly. The team at 5X Consulting are focused on helping you. Initially we would arrange a discovery call to assess your position. In preparation for this meeting you should identify the immediate challenges, so that we may begin tackling these. Following this we’ll prepare an action plan.

This meeting is to establish a clear picture of the short, medium and long term issues in order that we can tailor a solution to accelerate the businesses return to health. During the discovery call we will aim to understand what you want to achieve and build trust. This sets the scene for the team at 5X Consulting to add real, quantifiable value.
The initial discovery meeting is free of charge, as this enables the 5X Consulting team to identify the issues and to openly advise if we can be of any help to you. If we feel that we can add value then we will agree a monthly retainer for the duration of the project. Typically this starts at £2000 per month and is outcome related, (we agree the project objectives) but this is based on affordability. We can discuss fees or an alternative fee structure with you following the discovery call.
