Operational Consulting for Croatian Sole Traders

Do you know if your
business actually pays?

You work from morning to evening. You invoice clients. But at the end of the month, the numbers feel uncertain. We come to your workplace, examine every real cost, and build a simple model that shows exactly what each product or service costs you to deliver.

We are not accountants. We do not manage your books.

Four things we look at
that most owners never calculate

Most small business owners price by instinct or by copying competitors. Neither method accounts for your specific costs. Here is what we actually examine.

Materials and Supplies

Every gram of flour, every millilitre of oil, every screw and bolt. We measure what actually goes into each unit you produce or each job you complete.

Overhead Nobody Counts

Electricity, water, gas, rent, cleaning products, printer paper, phone credit. These costs are real even though no single invoice makes them obvious.

Your Time Has a Value

How long does each job actually take? Including setup, cleanup, ordering, and the admin work you do in the evening? Time is a cost too.

Transport and Logistics

Fuel, vehicle wear, delivery time, parking. If you drive to pick up materials or deliver finished work, that journey has a cost per unit.

We work in your space, not in an office

A cost model built from a spreadsheet template is not the same as one built by someone who has watched you work for a day. We observe your actual workflow, ask questions about what you buy and how often, and count the things that never appear on any invoice.

  • On-site visit to your actual workplace
  • We review all your supplier invoices and receipts
  • We time actual production or service delivery steps
  • We identify costs you have never thought to assign
  • You receive a simple, readable model - not a complex report

How a consultation works

There is no long contract and no complicated onboarding. Here is what happens from first contact to finished model.

01

Initial Conversation

We speak by phone or meet briefly. You describe what you do, how many products or services you offer, and what your biggest uncertainty is. We decide together if a visit makes sense.

02

On-Site Visit

We come to your workplace for a half-day or full day. We observe, ask questions, photograph price lists, examine invoices, and note every cost category we can identify.

03

Building the Model

We build a clear cost breakdown for each product or service type you offer. The model shows cost per unit, suggested minimum price, and where your margin actually sits.

04

Walkthrough and Handover

We present the model to you in person and walk through every figure together. You leave with a document you can actually use and update yourself going forward.

Built for people who work alone and do everything themselves

If you run a small craft business, a food production operation, a service trade, or any other sole-trader activity in Croatia, and you have never formally calculated what each job costs you, this is designed for your situation.

Important clarification: We are operational consultants, not accountants. We do not prepare tax filings, manage your bookkeeping, or replace your accountant. Our work is about understanding the real economics of your day-to-day operations.
