(02) Why we exist

We started Tavrel after years inside big consultancies, watching small businesses get the same forty-page decks as banks. They needed less: someone to sit in, find the real problem and fix it with them. So that is all we do, for businesses small enough that the owner still answers the phone.

(03) How we work

Four rules we have kept for ten years.

01

Sit in first

We watch the work before we suggest anything. Most problems are not where people think.

02

One page

Every plan fits on one side of A4. If it does not fit, it is not a priority yet.

03

Do it with you

We build the fix alongside your team, so it still works after we leave.

04

Leave when it works

The goal is to not be needed. 92% of clients never book a second project.

(04) The partners

You work with one of us, from the first call to the last review.

(06) In their words

They found the three things costing us most in the first week, and none of them were what I would have guessed.

We raised our prices by 18% and lost one client. One. I should have done this years ago.
