Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) cannot afford traditional consulting firms, which charge hundreds or thousands of dollars per hour. As a result, these businesses make important decisions without expert advice, leading to mistakes, slow growth, or failure. For example, Carillion (UK, collapsed 2018) was a massive construction and services firm that went into liquidation after failing to manage its pension deficits and project losses. The collapse triggered political scrutiny over the lack of oversight and the absence of effective risk consulting. This shows that even large companies can fail without strong consulting support for risk and cash flow management. These examples show that without timely and affordable consulting advice, businesses, whether big or small, risk making wrong decisions that can lead to collapse. Advisora solves this problem by providing an AI-powered platform that allows consulting firms to create their own AI consultants based on their unique methods and data. This makes expert guidance available instantly and at a much lower cost. Our target audience includes consulting firms wanting to scale their services and SMBs needing affordable, high-quality advice. Advisora’s unique features include AI agents that can run meetings, generate tailored reports, and provide strategic recommendations anytime. Unlike generic AI tools, Advisora uses each firm’s expertise, making it a powerful tool to expand its impact without hiring more staff. In short, Advisora makes consulting faster, cheaper, and accessible to businesses everywhere, preventing strategic missteps like those seen in Carillion, Kodak, or Blockbuster.
