Practical growth support for firms that want a clearer route to new work.
SMB2B helps consultancies and smaller specialist firms build a clearer route to growth through strategy, planning, business development support, and market insight.
What we do
SMB2B helps consultancies and smaller specialist firms build a clearer route to growth through strategy, planning, business development support, and market insight.
Why SMB2B exists
SMB2B was founded on a simple observation: many firms are strong at delivery but less well served when it comes to building a consistent commercial rhythm. Growth can become too reactive, too dependent on referrals, or too reliant on a few senior relationships.
The role of SMB2B is to help make growth more deliberate. That can mean clarifying focus, shaping a practical plan, supporting business development activity, or helping smaller teams use selected tools in a more structured way.
Built from real-world experience
SMB2B's perspective comes from seeing growth from both sides:
years building and supporting business development functions inside consultancies and professional services firms, and
the lived reality of setting up and running an independent business since 2022, where growth, delivery, marketing, admin, and systems all compete for the same time and energy.
That mix matters. It means the advice you get is grounded in the pressures your teams, partners, and solopreneur clients are actually under — limited time, limited headcount, and multiple priorities that all feel urgent.
Who SMB2B works with
SMB2B primarily supports:
Boutique and small consultancies that want a clearer, more practical route to new work.
Solopreneurs and small teams (often consultants, coaches, or specialist service providers) who need structure, support, and leverage around growth.
In both cases, the aim is the same: clearer commercial focus, a more usable plan, and more consistent business development activity that fits the scale and shape of the business.
Why AI is part of the story
AI is changing how smaller firms and consultancies market, sell, organise, and deliver work. Used well, it can take friction out of content, lead finding, admin, and follow-up so more time can be spent on the work only humans can do. Used badly, it just adds another layer of noise.
SMB2B treats AI as support, not the headline. Strategy, positioning, judgment, and client relationships remain human. AI is brought in where it can genuinely help with execution and consistency.
We help clients shape the commercial plan first, then make practical use of the platform to support it — including optional fractional BD support.
How we help
The work we do tends to cluster into three areas:
Strategy, Plan and Accountability – shaping a clear, practical route to growth and helping keep the agreed actions moving.
Fractional BD – adding experienced business development capacity when a firm needs more momentum and structure, without a full-time hire.
Market Research – bringing outside-in insight on buyers, markets, and competitors so commercial decisions are based on more than instinct.
In short
SMB2B is here for firms that want growth to feel more deliberate and less ad-hoc — whether that's a small consultancy needing a clearer BD approach, or a solopreneur or small team wanting a more manageable way to run their commercial efforts.
If that sounds familiar, the best next step is a straightforward conversation about where growth currently feels stuck and what support might help to unlock growth potential.
- — Focus the plan, not the noise
- — Turn activity into disciplined habits
- — Show up as a human, not a template
- — Make what works repeatable
- — Let outcomes define success

Nicole, given a brief about our company's situation, was able to synthesise the information provided to take the initiative to suggest an engagement that would help us better understand the landscape of the market that we compete in. Nicole worked diligently, guided by frequent reviews and input, to create outputs that are helping to steer our commercial planning for the year ahead with respect to our marketing, selling practices, and how we engage with our partners.

I worked with Nicole, initially on a lead generation campaign, more recently on a strategy for new business. Nicole's experience has been invaluable in helping me consider my target market, ideal client and activities for connecting with prospects.
