What to know about Startup consultants
A startup consultant helps you get a business off the ground: pressure-testing the idea, turning it into a plan and a financial model, choosing a structure, working out what has to be registered before you open, and building the first version of a go-to-market plan. Some also help assemble funding applications or investor materials, and many stay on for a few months after launch while the founder learns the parts of the job nobody warned them about.
