We’ve seen how hard growth really is. Starting a business takes courage. Scaling it takes the right support at the right time. Too often, promising opportunities stall – not from lack of ambition, but from the distance between strategy, funding and delivery.
The Business Consultancy was created to close that gap. Working alongside founders, we turn momentum into something that lasts.
Our founder Mark Butcher has spent more than 30 years building, growing and supporting businesses across multiple sectors and stages. During that time, he’s experienced both the momentum that drives growth and the challenges that stall it.
Those experiences – successes, failures and everything in between – have shaped a clear belief: what ambitious companies lack often isn’t ideas or advice, but the right partner.
And that’s the reason behind Mark’s decision to found The Business Consultancy.
Designed by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs, the model combines capital, capability and hands-on delivery to support leadership teams as they scale. It’s built to help businesses move decisively, focus on what matters most and execute with confidence.
As a result, our approach is ambitious yet realistic – we’re rigorous when it comes to due diligence, clear about priorities and focused on creating lasting value. It reflects how businesses actually grow: through partnership, shared accountability and consistent execution.
Most growing businesses don’t need more advice. They need partners who are prepared to commit alongside them – bringing capital, capability and the willingness to share responsibility for outcomes.
We commit capital and absorb upfront costs.
Strategy, teams and execution move together.
We work as an extension of your business.
Clear expectations. Shared responsibility.
Behind the model is a group of trusted partners who understand exactly how to move from opportunity to execution.
In addition to our core in-house crew, the team is made up largely of experienced independent experts across web development, copywriting, design, legal, finance, recruitment, admin and more – people we’ve worked with for years.
They’re professional, reliable and trust each other, which means we can assemble exactly the right expertise for every project, quickly and confidently.
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with organisations to help them innovate, grow and navigate change. I founded TBC to create a growth partner that combines capital, capability and hands-on delivery.
As a straight talker who has seen the highs and lows of building businesses, I focus on practical support and shared accountability, working alongside ambitious teams to help them scale and create lasting value.
I love bringing order to busy environments and helping teams stay focused on what matters most. Providing support across schedules and communications, I coordinate partners and keep projects moving.
Naturally organised and proactive, I enjoy connecting people and ideas across the team, making sure all the details are covered so nothing slips through the net.
Working across video, web and marketing, I bring the TBC brand to life and support growth. From producing video content to coordinating website projects and campaigns, I help turn commercial goals into engaging creative work.
I enjoy bringing different specialists together – designers, writers and developers – to deliver projects that tell clear stories and connect with the right audiences.
We build relationships designed to evolve with your business.
Partnerships are structured in ways that reflect contribution, stage and ambition. They’re grounded in accountability and shared goals but have the flexibility to adapt as, inevitably, priorities shift.
Over time, our role may include helping you assemble the right leadership team, strengthening operational capability, refining your positioning, securing funding or accessing specialist expertise across marketing, legal, finance and recruitment.
Whatever your objectives, we’ve spent years building relationships with people we trust, so you don’t need to start from scratch.
Ultimately, our goal is simple: helping you build a resilient business with a sustainable pathway to growth.
Let’s get to work. Together, we’ll turn your ambition into action and build the growth you’ve been aiming for.
