Helping Founders and Business Owners Get to the Next Step
EdG Consulting is a boutique advisory practice, partnering with founders and business owners to reach whatever comes next, deliberately and on their own terms.
What We Do
Strategic advisory built around two moments: moving a business forward, or preparing it for what comes next.
Founder Track
Building the business right from the outset, and for those with traction and investors already in place, scaling further through acquisition.
Learn more →Owner Track
Reducing a day-to-day role, preparing the business for the next generation, or working toward a full exit.
Learn more →Advisory Board
Ongoing strategic support around the table, for founders and owners alike, whichever track fits.
Learn more →Acquisition Deal Team
Helping founders scale and owners exit through acquisitions, buy-side and sell-side.
Learn more →Built Around What Comes Next
EdG Consulting works with two kinds of business, at two different moments. Founders moving forward, building something new and, once there is real traction, scaling through acquisition. Owners preparing for the future, stepping back, handing the business to the next generation, or working toward a full exit.
Every engagement is custom-made, drawn from a body of work that already exists rather than assembled from scratch.
"Every engagement is measured the same way: does it still hold without me in the room."
How We Work
Three steps, the same on either track.
Diagnose First
Before anything is recommended, we establish exactly where the business depends on its owner, and where the real constraint on growth sits.
Build the Plan Together
The plan is proposed, then shaped together. What is committed to is what was agreed, not what was handed down.
Stay Until It Holds
Whether the engagement runs for weeks or continues as a fractional role, the measure stays the same.
Erwin de Grave
Strategic Advisor · M&A Investor
Building and advising businesses since 1997, across the European Union and North America. Erwin started in corporate consultancy, running cost-reduction and turnaround projects for multinationals including Aerospatiale and AkzoNobel, across nine countries. In the years since, he has built, bought, and turned around businesses across sectors, from an innovation hub in Málaga to a transparency platform now used in 193 countries, most recently steering the turnaround of a legacy coaching-tools business as its fractional CEO. Twenty-five years in, the pattern is the one he started with: walk in, see what others miss, and stay until it moves.
