Why Choose Blaze Business & Legal as Your Consultant

We combine legal, financial and operational expertise in one place. That means we don’t just analyse your business – we understand how to fix it. Our consultants are not junior associates learning on the job. You’ll be working directly with experienced professionals who have managed businesses, navigated disputes, negotiated contracts and delivered successful outcomes in the real world.

We don’t do “lock in” contracts. You can engage us for a once-off review or a defined consulting project or on a retainer basis, with clear timeframes and deliverables. We also work in collaboration with your existing advisers, if preferred.

How Our Approach Is Different

Our consulting framework is grounded in practical application:

  • We identify the root cause of problems, not just the symptoms

  • We assess risk across legal, financial and operational areas

  • We prioritise and triage the issues for immediate and staged action

  • We give you documented advice, actions and next steps

  • We offer Done For You, Done With You and Done By You service models

This means you get advice that is implementable, timely and tailored to your current stage of business maturity.

Key Challenges We Solve

Our consultants regularly assist businesses with:

  • Declining profit margins and poor cash flow

  • Lack of structure, systems or documentation

  • Unclear business direction, service confusion or identity crisis

  • Employee disengagement or role uncertainty

  • Growth beyond internal capacity

  • High compliance risk or looming regulatory issues

  • Transition to new owners, leadership or business model

You don’t need to have a crisis to engage us – but if your business is already in trouble, we can also provide triage and stabilisation support quickly.

Case Study – How Blaze Business & Legal Helped Its Client

A Brisbane-based construction subcontractor was losing profitability and constantly dealing with payment delays. Blaze Business & Legal conducted a one-hour viability assessment, followed by a 4-week consulting engagement. 

We identified inefficiencies in quoting, gaps in contract management, and exposure to risk under unfair payment terms. We restructured their internal job tracking process, drafted new contract templates, and provided negotiation frameworks. 

Within three months, they had recovered $240,000 in outstanding payments and reduced job overruns by 70%.

FAQs

1. What does a business consultant in Brisbane do?

A business consultant in Brisbane works with business owners and managers to identify commercial, legal and operational issues impacting performance. The goal is to provide strategic advice and help implement changes that improve profitability, compliance and growth.

2. Who should hire a business consultant?

Business owners, Managing Directors, CEOs or Directors who are experiencing financial pressure, operational inefficiencies or growth stagnation should consider hiring a consultant. A consultant helps clarify direction, reduce risk and provide practical solutions aligned with business goals.

3. How do I know if I need a consultant or a lawyer?

If your issue involves risk, structure or performance but hasn’t reached a dispute or legal breach, a consultant may be more appropriate. But we can help you decide. Unlike most consultants in Brisbane and around Australia, Blaze Business & Legal offers combined Legal Services, Business Management Consulting and Business Advisory services, so we can assess which approach is required and advise you on next steps.

4. What industries does Blaze Business & Legal consult to?

Blaze Business & Legal provides consulting services to construction, healthcare, trades, professional services, retail and advisory firms. Our consultants have commercial, operational and legal experience across regulated and non-regulated sectors.

5. What’s included in your consulting packages?

Our consulting packages include scoping, assessment, documented advice, action plans and optional implementation support. You’ll receive a tailored engagement brief outlining deliverables, timeframes, and pricing with no lock-in contracts.

6. Can you provide one-off consulting sessions?

One-off sessions are available and often used for triage or issue clarification. These are typically one to two hours and include a follow-up report and recommendations. You can continue with a full engagement later, or action the advice yourself, and we will provide fixed fee quotes to you every step of the way.

7. How do you charge for your consulting services?

We charge based on scope, ie the work you need us to perform – either hourly, project-based or through monthly retainer. All our engagements begin with a fixed quote or proposal so you have certainty on fees and deliverables. There are no hidden costs or automatic renewals and we don’t do “lock in contracts”.

8. What makes your consultants different to a coach or mentor?

Our consultants are professionals with legal, commercial and operational expertise. We don’t work on motivation or mindset – we work on systems, risk and measurable outcomes. Our work is designed for implementation, not just reflection. If you are looking for personal development and growth, a mentor or coach may suit you best. If you are looking for help making changes in your business, we’re the right fit for you.

9. Can Blaze Business & Legal work with my existing accountant or lawyer?

We regularly work in partnership with accountants, bookkeepers and legal advisers to support a shared client. We focus on improving the business, leaving legal advice or tax work to your existing professionals if preferred. And if you need commercial legal support, Blaze Business & Legal is a Law Firm, so we can support you with that as well.

10. What is your Done For You / With You / By You model?

You can choose how involved we are with the work you need carried out. Done For You means we make recommendations about your business and then implement these recommendations with your support, Done With You means we guide you and review what you do as you implement our recommendations. Done By You means we hand over the plan for you to implement with minimal involvement from us (unless you need further help or advice).

11. What’s the first step to getting started?

The first step to getting started with Blaze Business & Legal is to book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your current issues, goals and suitability for our consulting services. We’ll provide a high-level view of what’s possible and whether consulting will deliver value for your business.
