We work with owner-managed companies in Leeds and across West Yorkshire. You tell us where the business hurts; we dig into the data, build a plan, and stay until the plan is working. No retainer surprises, no 80-slide decks you will never read.

Most of our clients are businesses with five to 120 employees. They have outgrown gut-feel decisions but are not ready for a full-time CFO or strategy director. That is exactly the gap we fill.
We build rolling 13-week cash-flow models, annual budgets and scenario plans you can actually use. Each model is tied to your accounting software so the numbers update weekly without manual entry. Our clients typically spot cash shortfalls six to eight weeks earlier than they did before.
We spend two to three days on-site, mapping your processes from order intake through delivery and invoicing. The output is a prioritised list of fixes with estimated savings in hours and pounds, not a vague set of principles. Most reviews pay for themselves within the first quarter.
Thinking about a second location, a new product line, or selling into a different sector? We research the market, model the investment required, and build a 90-day launch roadmap. If the numbers say "not yet," we will tell you that too.
We set up monthly reporting packs that track the five to eight metrics that matter most to your business. Each report takes under ten minutes to read and tells you what changed, why, and what to do next. We use tools you already own whenever possible.
Numbers are more useful than adjectives. Here is what our project records show since January 2022.
We track every engagement from kick-off to close-out. If a project runs past the agreed timeline, we flag it in writing within 48 hours and explain what changed. Transparency is cheaper than surprises.
"We had been losing about £6,000 a month on a fulfilment process nobody had questioned in years. Foster Biz mapped the whole thing in two days and the fix was embarrassingly simple. We recovered the cost of the engagement within five weeks."
Rachel Thornton, operations director, Thornton Packaging Ltd"I needed someone who could sit with my bank manager and explain the numbers. The cash-flow model they built got our facility extended by £150k without extra security. That breathing room let us take on two contracts we would have had to turn down."
David Kalu, founder, Kalu Engineering Services"Other consultants gave us strategy documents. Foster Biz gave us a spreadsheet, a checklist and a weekly call until everything was done. The difference matters when you are running a 14-person team and cannot afford to stall."
Samira Hussain, managing director, Pennine HR SolutionsWe start every engagement with a free 30-minute phone call. No pitch deck, no obligation. We listen, ask a few questions, and tell you honestly whether we can help. If we cannot, we will point you to someone who can.
