How We Work.


We do not run your company.


We do not make your decisions. 


We ensure that you do not face them alone.

Gentlemen's Guide acts as an independent sparring partner for entrepreneurs. 


We challenge assumptions. 
We ask questions that others might avoid. 
We bring an outside perspective without losing sight of the reality of your business. ​

Sometimes it is about strategy. 
Sometimes about people.
 Sometimes about ownership structures, investments, succession, or growth. 
And sometimes it turns out that the apparent issue is not the actual problem at all.


Challange. Clarify. Decide. Implement.




Our process in four simple steps


1

Contacting us

Based on a recommendation, we will get in touch together.


2

Meet a Gentlemen

A gentleman will meet with you in person. We still value a handshake. If it is a good fit for both parties, we proceed to step 3.


3

The analysis

We analyze you and your company. We compile an expert assessment and ask you the right questions.

4

The Mandate

We provide hands-on support for all your questions. 

This is not a consultation. 
This is a decision!

Before we embark on a one-year collaboration, we need to understand more than just your company.. ​

We want to understand where you stand, where you want to go, what is standing in your way, and which decisions lie ahead—as well as how you make them.

We look at the company, the people, the organization, the strategy, and the figures. But we also look at the entrepreneurial personality behind it all. For the two can rarely be separated as strictly as an organizational chart might suggest

At the end of the analysis, we lay the key points on the table.

Clear. Direct. Unstaged. 

And then we will answer two questions... 

What is really important? 
Should we work together? 


We make the decision together.

The Mandate

12 Month ​CHF 8'000/ Month


This is not a consulting project. ​

There is no off-the-shelf catalog of workshops, PowerPoint presentations, or billable hours. 

It is a year of independent guidance and entrepreneurial sparring.

We stay close enough to understand the context. 
Independent enough to question it. 
And committed enough to step in when thoughts need to turn into action.


One year. 

One Entrepreneur. 

The decisions that matter.

Never more than twelve

Gentlemen's Guide works with a maximum of twelve entrepreneurs at a time. 

Not for the sake of exclusivity. ​

For sound advice takes time. It requires context. And above all, it requires trust.

We want to know the company well enough to understand what isn’t in the reports. We want to know the people well enough to recognize what isn’t being said in meetings. And we want to know the entrepreneur well enough to ask the question no one else is asking. 

This cannot be scaled indefinitely 

And it’s not supposed to, either.
