There are over four million businesses in the UK. However, only four percent
have achieved strong growth. Those that have are those that have sought business
advice they report twice the growth and profits when compared to other businesses.
Providing business advice is a growing marketplace with huge untapped potential
and SPS is a leader in this market. Our business is growing and expanding its
capabilities and we are seeking practical business people with board level experience
More about our business
SPS was started four years ago in Harrogate, Yorkshire and we have grown to 20
partners. Our goal is to grow to full UK representation. All partners are self-employed
and they work from their own offices throughout the United Kingdom.
Our clients are mainly progressive small and medium-sized businesses, those most
likely to seek business advice. They range from small new ventures to businesses
with turnovers above £30m. Most new clients come from referrals.
Being part of a bigger group enables doors to be opened and more sustainable
businesses to be built, leading to both bigger projects and fees.

Few businesses have the positive ethos and friendly feel that SPS has. Couple
this with very senior talent and you have a winner.
Murray Eldridge Partner, Thames Valley
We normally work closely with the business owner providing business advice and
practical guidance on their business strategy and action plans. In the main, we
have a long-term relationship with our clients.
SPS partners provide a wide range of services. They range from advice on starting
a new venture through to advice on commercial negotiations. The best way to fully
appreciate our services is to review the specialist skills of our partners.
Working in a team
The strength of SPS lies in the excellent calibre of the partners. In all cases
they have senior board level experience and they have developed high expertise
and have acquired extensive experience. They all have a successful track record
behind them.
Not all partners were business advisors when they joined us. However, what made
them successful in their careers has made them successful with us - the fundamentals
such as focus, dedication, hard work and working with others as part of a team.

Paul McKibbin Partner, North West and North Wales
Our partners are based in regional teams. Generally, a regional team has complementary
skills and expertise and they work together to develop new clients and work on
client assignments when their specialist skills are required.
The rewards for success are high. The work is always challenging and interesting
and it provides a real sense of achievement. The financial rewards are commensurate
with your success with a potential in excess of £8k per month.
Will you be a success with us?
There is no simple answer to this question. We know from our experience that
our partners do succeed and one of the reasons for this is our focus upon recruiting
the right partners of the right calibre
