      Advertising Review from Gracey Thompson

      We've had a great experience working with this Disruptive. We work specifically with Summer, Brad, and Derek. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely care about helping our business succeed. They take the time to understand our goals, are always willing to answer questions, and consistently bring fresh ideas and valuable insights to the table. Its refreshing to work with an agency that feels like an extension of our own team rather than just another service provider. We truly appreciate everything they do and would highly recommend them!

      eCommerce Review from Anonymous

      Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

      We’ve been working with Disruptive on a long-term PPC strategy, and they’re constantly optimizing campaigns and landing pages based on performance. They use Google Analytics to ensure accurate tracking, Unbounce for landing page testing, and run ads through Google and LinkedIn, with knowledgeable experts for each channel.

      Software Development Review from Jimmy Carlisle

      We needed an in-depth upgrade of the legacy auditing system. We chose Itransition because they swiftly responded to our project requirements and had relevant expertise. The team helped us decide on the solution’s tech stack and designed the new architecture, migrated legacy data, developed new features, and customized the software with extensions. We got a powerful and user-friendly auditing system and were very impressed with the Itransition’s dedication and attention to detail.

      Software Development Review from Shoshana Parker

      We enjoyed working with Itransition. We needed a solution for transferring health records from our EHR into the data warehouse without losses. We chose Itransition for their experience, portfolio, and past clients’ references, and the team fully met our expectations. They built a custom ETL tool that increased our visibility into clinical data and helped us spot inefficiencies in patient workflows. Needless to say, they also delivered it on time and budget.

      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.

      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.

      Andrew Stetsenko Founder at GlossaryTech, backed by Dice
      5.0★

      Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko

      We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis. The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services". It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.

      Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova

      Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two. I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery. We successfully brought 2 major products to life together. Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes. It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.

      Flyaps delivered outstanding results for our e-commerce store! They built a visually stunning and high-performing website that perfectly captures our brand. Since launching, our site speed has improved by over 60%, and we've seen a noticeable increase in our conversion rate. Their team's technical expertise is top-notch, and the new admin panel they created has made managing our operations so much easier. I am happy to recommend this team of professionals.

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.
