In the Lake Léman region, near Geneva, this challenge has been answered by SB Business Consulting – a leading business financial strategy consultant dedicated to empowering SMEs through tailor-made solutions that align perfectly with their strategic ambitions. We spoke with Founder Sara Branco below to learn more. Strategically situated between Geneva and Lausanne, SB Business Consulting is the partner of choice for businesses wishing to optimise their operations and build sustainable growth strategies. The company’s specialties range from strategic planning, financial structuring, and market entry analysis to process improvement and change management, each geared towards supporting small- and medium-sized enterprises through the implementation phase and producing tangible results. SB Business Consulting is led by Founder Sara Branco, an established consultant with more than 13 years of experience in operations that gave her the background needed to support companies of all sizes throughout their growth journey. Sara has built a foundation of invaluable experience through work conducted in a variety of environments – from large international companies to local structures – and now chooses to focus her expertise on providing SMEs with quality, strategic support informed by decades of unrivalled experience. Today, SB Business Consulting serves a client base comprising entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs who wish to grow but do not possess the internal resources or expertise to scale successfully. Many of these clients are family-owned businesses, service companies, or innovative startups looking for professionalise their processes, expand into new markets, or secure finances. “What unites them is ambition,” said Sara. “They’re ready to take the next step and they value having a partner who can help them navigate both strategy and execution.” In the investment space, SB Business Consulting aims to help clients make informed, strategic decisions that balance opportunity with risk. The consultancy offers solutions such as investment readiness assessments, financial modelling, due diligence support, and portfolio optimisation strategies. For businesses seeking capital, the consultancy helps them structure their business plans and financials to attract investors; for investors, it provides market analysis and risk evaluation to ensure their capital is deployed in a way that aligns with long-term objectives. Regardless of the project’s size or scope, SB Business Consulting’s approach to client service is built on three distinct pillars: listening, tailoring, and delivering measurable results. Every client brings their own ambitions and challenges to the table, so the consultancy takes the time to understand more than the numbers – exploring the client’s unique vision, culture, and long-term goals. With this understanding, SB Business Consulting successfully avoids using cookie-cutter frameworks. Instead, it adapts and tailors proven strategies to the client’s context, ensuring that solutions are relevant, practical, and sustainable. Clear success metrics are defined from the start, and the consultancy works closely alongside each client through execution to ensure they see real improvements – whether in growth, efficiency, or profitability. “The most vital areas we focus on are trust, transparency, and value creation,” Sara added. “Trust ensures long-term relationships, transparency builds confidence in our processes, and value creation keeps us accountable to outcomes. For us, providing the best service means being a true partner – not just a consultant who gives advice, but someone who helps carry the implementation through to success.” To stay ahead of the curve, SB Business Consulting actively tracks emerging trends – from digital transformation and ESG standards to shifts in global markets – and integrate those insights into its strategies. In particular, the consultancy has focused on adopting digitisation, which is not only an area of interest for the team but also a central element of helping clients prepare for the future. With many of its clients still in the early stages of digital transformation, SB Business Consulting is responsible for guiding them through process automation, data-driven decision-making, and digital tools for financial and operational management. Digital transformation will be a key focus for SB Business Consulting across the remainder of 2025, alongside ensuring investment readiness for SMEs. Beyond 2025, the consultancy intends to strengthen its regional presence, build a network of strategic partners, and launch tailored programmes that combine consulting with practical implementation support. The team is also working on developing insightdriven tools and resources – including market intelligence reports and SME growth frameworks – that will make its expertise more accessible. “We see a growing need for smaller businesses to become more structured – not only to attract investors but also to stay competitive in an increasingly digital economy,” Sara shared. “Our future plans are centred around helping ambitious businesses grow smarter, faster, and more sustainably – while positioning SB Business Consulting as a trusted partner in their long-term journey.” Contact: Sara Branco Company: SB Business Consulting Web Address: www.sb-businessconsulting.com
