      Software Development Review from Filip Suskovic

      Takeaway Reality developed our custom software exactly according to the specifications we provided. We shared images and videos with them, and they transformed that into a VR platform where people can view their apartment or house. Users are able to explore the property through a fully virtual walk-through.

      Mobile App Development Review from Marie-Laure De Veyt

      We set out to build awareness around a new cyber safety product. After reviewing several agencies through an RFP, we chose TAR because they fully understood our objectives and had a clear plan to achieve them. From brainstorming to final execution, we collaborated closely and collected feedback in an organized way. Working with TAR has truly been an outstanding experience.

      eCommerce Development Review from Stephane Baudry

      Kreante handled the full design, development and SEO of our Shopify store from start to finish. I was especially impressed by their responsiveness and the quality of their communication, which kept the project moving quickly and made the whole collaboration easy to manage.

    • Xavier Vernin
      Xavier Vernin CEO at Shareleads
      5.0★

      Mobile App Development Review from Xavier Vernin

      Kreante built our mobile and desktop app for a construction marketplace platform, handling UX/UI design and database setup from the ground up. What impressed us most was their expertise with no-code and low-code tools, combined with real flexibility when our requirements shifted. Their professionalism, responsiveness and communication were excellent throughout.

    • Chloé Fernagut
      Chloé Fernagut CEO at CF Consulting
      5.0★

      Web Development Review from Chloé Fernagut

      We had a complex app to build and no technical lead, so Kreante helped define and deliver it—UX, a Bubble front end, a Xano backend, integrations and automations. They shipped on time, fixed the few small bugs fast, and frequently went beyond scope. Their integrity, quality and value for money really stood out.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Business Consulting Firms

What types of problems do consulting agencies typically solve?

They usually solve problems that are too important, too cross-functional, or too urgent for an internal team to handle alone. Business owners hire business consultants when they need to grow, improve execution, manage risk, or change how the business runs.

  • Strategy and growth problems: Businesses hire a strategy consulting firm when they know the current path is not strong enough, but have not yet agreed on the next move. PwC’s 2025 Global CEO Survey found that 42% of CEOs say their company will remain viable for less than 10 years if it stays on its current path. Organizations rely on business consulting agencies when they need help with their growth strategy and when they want to learn how to compete.
  • Digital transformation and technology gaps: Business consulting firms help businesses turn technology spending into measurable operating results. Gartner reported that only 48% of digital initiatives meet or exceed their business outcome targets. McKinsey reported that 78% of organizations use AI in at least one business function, yet more than 80% say they are not seeing a tangible enterprise-level EBIT impact from generative AI.
  • Operational performance problems: Consultants help with low productivity, weak margins, slow throughput, poor planning, supply chain instability, inventory problems, and uneven service delivery across business units or geographies. They redesign processes, improve decision rights, cut waste, and build a more resilient operating model.
  • Organizational and talent issues: A business consulting company can redesign organizational structure, clarify accountability, improve governance, support transformation offices, and build workforce capability. ManpowerGroup reported that 72% of employers are having difficulty filling roles, based on a survey of 39,000 employers across 41 countries. Consulting work increasingly includes workforce planning, reskilling, and change management, not just strategy decks.
  • Risk management, resilience, or crisis exposure problems: A consulting firm helps with cybersecurity, regulatory response, geopolitical shocks, technology disruption, and business continuity. According to IBM, the global average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million, and 70% of breached organizations said their operations were significantly or moderately disrupted. When risk starts affecting operations, cost, customer trust, or board-level decisions, companies often bring in consultants because they need both specialist expertise and fast execution.

How much do business consulting services cost?

Business consulting costs vary widely depending on the type of firm, the problem being solved, and the pricing model.

Hourly rates

  • Small business consultants: $75
  • General business consultants: $100-$250
  • Experienced specialists: $250-$500+
  • High-end or niche experts: $500-$1,000+

For ongoing advisory or support, business consulting firms charge monthly fees:

  • Small business retainers: up to $2,500/month
  • Mid-market or specialized retainers: $5,000-$25,000+/month

Top-tier consulting firms such as Deloitte Consulting LLP and McKinsey consultants charge differently, since they bill clients for the entire team's fee rather than individual fees.

  • Pricing is often $100,000 to $1M+ per project
  • Weekly team costs can reach tens of thousands of dollars, depending on seniority and scope

What should be included in a consulting proposal?

Business consultants should provide a strong proposal that removes uncertainty for the client. It should clearly define the problem, the approach, the expected outcomes, and the commercial terms.

A strong consulting proposal should answer four questions clearly:

  • What problem are you solving?
  • How will you solve it?
  • What results should we expect?
  • What will it cost and how long will it take?

How do I avoid getting locked into a long-term consulting relationship that doesn’t deliver measurable value?

You need to structure the relationship around clear outcomes, short commitments, and accountability from the start. Most consulting projects don't succeed because of unclear expectations and weak performance tracking. According to McKinsey & Company, only about 30% of large business transformation programs fully achieve their goals, often due to unclear objectives and weak tracking.

You should set a clear baseline, define target improvements, and agree on a timeline. For example, instead of saying you need to improve operations, set the goal to reduce operating costs by 10% within six months.

Avoid large upfront commitments and start with a short diagnostic or pilot phase, which can last 4 to 8 weeks, and include a formal review point before moving forward.

Define a clear scope of work and deliverables. The agreement should specify exactly what the business consulting firm will deliver, when those deliverables are due, and what is explicitly out of scope.

To avoid long-term dependency, require knowledge transfer to your internal team. This includes documentation, tools, and training that allow your staff to operate independently after the project ends.

What results should I realistically expect from a consulting agency?

Business consulting companies should offer a measurable business impact. Depending on the project, a measurable business impact may include cost reduction, revenue growth, improved margins, faster processes, or higher productivity.

A good consulting agency should deliver clear strategic direction, measurable performance improvements, faster execution, specialized expertise, and lasting internal capabilities. You should expect expert knowledge that will help your organization become more capable than it was before.

What information should I prepare before reaching out?

Prepare enough information to clearly explain your problem, your goals, and your current performance, so that the agency can assess the fit quickly and give you a realistic proposal.

At a minimum, you should be ready to share: 

  • A clear description of the problem (what’s not working, where, and why it matters)
  • Your business goals (what success looks like in measurable terms)
  • Key performance data (revenue, margins, growth trends, or operational metrics)
  • Any existing initiatives or strategies already in progress
  • Your budget range and expected timeline
  • Who the key decision-makers are

What is the difference between boutique consulting firms and large consultancies?

The difference comes down to scale, specialization, cost, and how work is delivered. Boutique business consulting firms tend to be focused and flexible, while large consultancies offer broader capabilities and global reach.

Boutique consulting firmsLarge consultancies 
Focus on a specific industry or problem (e.g., pricing, supply chain, AI).Offer a wide range of services across industries (strategy, tech, operations, risk).
Small, senior-led teams with direct involvement from experienced consultants.Larger, layered teams (partners, managers, analysts) with more standardized delivery.
More adaptable, faster decision-making, and customized approaches. Strong global presence, established frameworks, and ability to handle large, complex transformations.
Often more cost-efficient for targeted projects.Higher fees due to brand, scale, and large team involvement.
Deep focus on specific problems with hands-on execution.Structured methodologies, often combining strategy with large-scale implementation programs.
