As a start-up owner, you may have a team of
power-packed colleagues or co-owners, and
abundant time and money to invest in the
business. But if you dont have the right
direction, there is only so far you can take your
company.  Hence consultation with one of the best
startup consulting firms becomes very important.
Here are 5 things you need to keep in mind before
getting a consultancy service.
3
Experience  A good consultant is one, who brings
experience to the table. A startup under the
guidance of a veteran consultant is more likely
to succeed than a beginner or a business
educator. What you need is a person who has
experienced real-life problems in the business
arena and can tackle them with ease.
4
Specialization (Broad-based consultancy vs
Specialization in a certain field) While some may
say that a broad-based experience is better than
a specialization in a certain field. We believe
that a professional who has been in a field for a
long will have a broad base of knowledge of the
business world. Hence go for a specialized
professional consultant.
5
Methodology One of the most common mistakes a
startup makes is hiring a consultant who doesnt
present a written plan of action. In a startup,
each second counts, and anybody who doesnt bring
with them a specialized plan of action will only
waste the time and resources of your company.
Make sure they are dedicated to the cause of your
project.
6
Good communication and interpersonal skills A
good consultant is articulate and empathetic.
They must possess excellent communication skills,
so they can talk about their plan of action to
you.
7
Talk Around Its also advisable to ask around
for good start-up consultants before approaching
one. Moreover, you can ask your prospect
consultants to list the companies with which they
have worked before to get a review from them.
