The company advises on many aspects of business structure and development including corporate strategy, corporate finance, business planning, outsourcing, people management, viability, marketing and sales. Craigie Mains increasingly focuses on advising companies that wish to accelerate their growth either through improved marketing and business processes, or by introducing external capital or management.Typically client companies have owners who are influential in the business, are worth up to £50 million, and employ between 10 and 150 staff.
