What is a consultancy?

A consultancy company is made up of different professional experts in a sector that can help create or improve your business, develop your idea, optimize results or diagnose problems and propose how to solve them. Normally the helps can be in two ways:

• They analyze the desired aspect or detect the problem and propose the necessary actions to be taken to solve it yourself.

• They work with you to solve problems and they take care of your team to implement and execute the necessary tools for each situation.

The objective of the consultant is always to help those who do not have enough knowledge and experience to improve and modify aspects related to their business or help solve problems or situations so you can move forward.

The role of the consultant

The consultant’s role fundamentally, no matter the type of your accommodation, Surf Resort, Surf Hotel, Surf Hostel, Surf House, Surf Camp or whatever you want to call it, is the following:

• Advice on the creation and conceptualization of a business. Define or detect plans, strategies, processes and actions that can improve.
