Well now there is, so please read our blogs and join us at our webinars or regional events. These pages will be regularly updated with free to access information specific about running a livery and riding centre business.

We have experienced partners in our portfolio
Starting or developing an equestrian business requires careful consideration to matters such as advice from surveyors, planning consultants, accountants and solicitors. We have a portfolio of professionals with expertise in their respective fields which enables us to deliver a comprehensive solution for our clients whether its start up, existing business or you are looking to exit.
Potential clients often say “Consultants and advisors are costly and only tell you what you already know”
There is a general perception that business development advisers can be costly. Also being generalists, without having experienced your particular issues the advice could be well meaning, but not really offer the solution you are after.
Equine Business Consultancy has a team with highly relevant experience. We only supply individuals with the ability to tackle your specific needs. Pricing is important too in this difficult sector, so we have developed a tiered approach, which means you only pay for what you need. If you don’t value the advice, then stop paying us!
We also provide bespoke solutions for larger and long term projects, but these are quoted, so you know what your costs are going to be in advance.
Our innovative pricing options enables small businesses to start on a low cost base and then increase the services in line with the growth of their business.
