Insider Perspectives: Market Insight

by Oscar Phillips, Consultancy Channel Lead:

Despite the challenging market conditions, marked by lost projects and sluggish client decision-making echoing patterns from 2023, we’re thrilled to already announce the onboarding and funding of six consultancies.

Though times aren’t exactly booming for the consutlancy market we’ve observed a noteworthy trend. Some consultancies are successfully navigating  challenges by embracing agility in their approach, enhancing services, and delivering added value to clients.

Sonovate’s funding is always exciting when directed towards business growth, yet we also serve as a valuable resource to support your cash flow during challenging times.

 

by Ross Winter, Business Development Consultant:

Domestic uncertainty has resulted in a tough climate for growing consulting businesses. With talent scarce, projects being delayed and indecisive clients remaining a consistent theme throughout the conversations we’ve had this year, many consultancies have taken measures to escape uncertainty at home by seeking international opportunities. Already this year, we’ve had reviews for Statements of Work in France, Switzerland, Germany and the US among others. Consultancies who have been able to remotely work for international clients have benefitted massively from this, and have been able to continue growth in defiance of tough market conditions. Sonovate can support Consultancies working with clients internationally, releasing the value of your invoice within 24hrs, in GBP, EUR, USD (other currencies available upon request).

 

by Daniel Lewis, Business Development Consultant:

So far this year, uncertainty around when consultancies will be paid has been a significant challenge for those aiming to grow their businesses. However, two consultancies have found a solution to this by leveraging Sonovate’s services. By partnering with Sonovate, these consultancies have gained the assurance that they will receive payment within 24 hours of completing projects, regardless of external market conditions. This certainty has empowered them to confidently take on new projects and continue scaling their operations in 2024. With Sonovate’s streamlined payment processes eliminating cash flow uncertainties, these consultancies can focus their energy on delivering high-quality services and pursuing growth opportunities without being hindered by financial concerns. As a result, they are poised to thrive in an environment where agility and confidence are paramount for success.

 

While working with specialist talent to deliver its growing number of projects, BML had to rely on significant investments upfront, which were particularly challenging when project timelines shifted.

Before discovering Sonovate, BML was self-funded and bootstrapping its operations. Watch below to find out Sonovate supported BML with their funding.
