Consultancy

Creative projects, business mindset

Consulting for artists, performers, creative entrepreneurs and cultural organisations

Over the past decade, we’ve worked with a wide range of people, organisations and representatives from the creative, cultural and business sectors. Through that journey, one insight kept coming back:
there’s a clear lack of business thinking in how many creative professionals approach their careers and projects.

Independent artists, performers and entrepreneurs often work without a strategic or financial plan. They have the vision, the talent and the drive — but lack the tools, guidance or structure to build something sustainable.

That’s why we’ve created a consulting service that helps bring your project to life — not just creatively, but strategically and financially.


What we do

We help you bring your project to life with a solid business foundation, clear strategy and concrete funding. We ask the right questions, challenge your thinking and co-build the business side of your creative work.

Our consulting services include:

  • Business development – understanding your goals, your value, and your direction
  • Business plan creation – a clear, professional plan to use as your roadmap or to present to partners and investors
  • Export strategy – support with international ambitions: where, how, and with whom
  • Financial planning – budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and break-even analysis
  • Grant and subsidy applications – help navigating and applying for local, national or European funding
  • Fundraising and sponsorship – finding the right partners and building proposals that work
  • Tax Shelter advisory – for film, stage or cultural productions that qualify
  • Private equity and investor support – guidance through negotiations with private partners or funds

How we work

Our approach is personal, practical and tailored. No one-size-fits-all model — we create a roadmap based on your unique needs. We start with a discovery session, build a clear step-by-step plan, and make sure that by the end of the process, you’re in a stronger position — creatively, strategically and financially.

We believe that strong artistic visions deserve an equally strong business foundation.
We’re here to help you build that foundation.
