Elephants Child is a UK-based business advisory firm helping SMEs grow, raise capital, and plan for successful exits.

Support for business owners with big ideas

We support ambitious business owners ready to grow, scale, or sell.

Preparation is key and our expert advisers have partnered with many happy clients to help identify and pave the way for successful business growth – empowering businesses with clear strategies to secure growth, attract funding or investors, improve operations, and get ready to sell..

“Over the last 18 months we have assessed the various strategic options available to us, established our preferred trajectory and developed comprehensive plans to deliver upon our vision. We are now executing on our plans. Our plans are ambitious, have required a redesign of our organisation and implementation of new business models.”

People Centric Software Solution Company

“I was looking for some structure around the board room table and direction for the senior team. We signed up for phase 1 to deliver a 1yr operational plan that we can work to for the next 3 years. I had done courses in the past but nothing like this where it was solely based around our business with all approaches taken being relevant and factual.”

Flooring Company

“Most advisers focus heavily on the fluffy stuff of planning and vision etc and even though I agree that it is vital, Elephants Child are then able to translate that in actions so we know exactly what needs to happen, by when and by who. Which to me is invaluable. Would recommend without hesitation.”

“ESG… Three letters that meant little or nothing to me just 6 months ago.. are now shaping the way my business is run today.
