What We Do
Sivel Consulting provides specialist, project-based support to private clients who require deep technical work without expanding internal headcount. Our work is focused on three areas: market entry advisory, investment research and project execution.
We structure each engagement around clear decision points, concise outputs and defined timelines, avoiding the diffuse, open-ended models typical of large consultancies.
Market Entry Advisory
Strategic market assessment
Before capital is committed, we assess whether a target market justifies the effort, cost and risk. Our analysis covers regulatory conditions, competitive intensity, demand drivers, distribution options and likely time-to-scale. We translate this into a simple view of feasibility: on what terms it makes sense to enter, what must be in place before launch and which scenarios should be ruled out.
Entry blueprint and execution path
Once the market case is validated, Sivel Consulting designs a pragmatic entry blueprint. This may include recommended corporate structures, preferred partners, sequencing of pilot initiatives and staged investment thresholds. Where required, we coordinate specialist third parties (legal, tax, local operators) and manage the flow of information so that your principals receive clear, decision-ready updates rather than fragmented reports.
Investment Research
Thematic and sector research
We conduct targeted research into specific sectors or themes you are exploring, such as technology-enabled services, specialist consumer niches or education-related ventures. Our work blends macro trends, policy developments and competitor mapping with practical intelligence from market participants, giving you an independent view of risk and opportunity that transcends bland marketing materials.
Deal and manager due diligence
For individual opportunities, we provide a structured assessment of the business model, governance, track record and scenario resilience. This can be applied to direct investments, co-investments or specialist managers, and is designed to support a clear yes/no decision. Sivel Consulting exist to remove layers of complexity where possible.
Project Execution Support
Embedded project teams
Some initiatives are strategically important but operationally demanding. In those cases, we form a compact project team that integrates with your existing office, reporting to a designated principal or senior advisor. Typical mandates include standing up a new operating platform, coordinating multiple advisors around a cross-border initiative or managing a time-critical commercial review.
Governance, reporting and handover
We structure reporting around the information your principals actually use: key risks, milestones, capital at work and immediate decisions required. At the end of each engagement, we provide a clean handover pack so that your internal team or external advisors can continue without dependence on Sivel Consulting.
Linked Services
For clients who wish to apply the same level of discipline to non-commercial capital, Sivel Consulting also advises on strategic philanthropy, including beneficiary due diligence and impact monitoring.
