Since 1992, David Castlegrant & Associates has been changing the way the world looks at business consulting; we put small and mid-size family owned business consulting first.

Our emphasis is on the practical application of proven business management principles that make a real difference in our clients' companies. This improvement in management effectiveness equates to more growth and sustainable financial health.

We demand a collaborative relationship with our clients aimed at assisting the client on their individual journey to a more desired state. In other words, every client receives individualized custom consulting.

We provide administration services, management consultation, marketing, strategic planning, and other related services to businesses better and more cost effectively than each business could provide for itself. By providing an excellent alternative to permanent staffing, we make a difference our clients can see.

What makes David Castlegrant & Associates unique is that we actually listen to our clients and get things done by staying on task. Furthermore, we believe our clients should not have to pay high fees for quality consulting. We practice a no cost overrun policy. No client will bear additional costs if a contracted engagement exceeds the amount of time initially agreed upon. Our clients bear no additional costs.

Moreover, our fees are among the most competitive in the nation because we believe every business should be able to receive quality, affordable professional business consulting.

What is a consultant?

In the 15 years since we started our business, we are frequently asked, "What is a consultant?"

Consulting is mostly about "niched" work experience. Most successful consultants have had some specific job experience that can be translated into a value statement and thus marketed as a sales message. Some consultants are highly skilled specialists that their experience and reputation stand alone.

Consulting means different things to different people. Even our clients see the meaning differently - to some consultant means part-time functionary; to others it means project manager; personal coach / mentor; shrink!

A recent America On Line survey asked small business owners if they had considered using outside consultants to assist with their business problems. Of the 4,775 responses:

16% stated YES, they use outside consultants all of the time
64% stated NO, they do not need
20% stated NO, but they wish they had

We are NOT interested in speaking to the 64%. Obviously things are going well for these folks and we certainly are not in the business to waste anyone's time.

We are VERY interested in speaking to the remaining 36%. In particular, the 20% who wish they had used a consultant, let us act as a sounding board for you. The call is free and so is the initial consultation.
