NorthStar Consulting Investment
At NorthStar, we don’t just support good ideas — we invest in bold, actionable ones.
Â
From time to time, we may choose to support select clients with private investment from our funds. This is entirely discretionary, based on strategic alignment, and is not guaranteed or offered as part of our standard consulting services.
Â
We do not operate as a venture capital firm, broker, or financial advisor, and nothing on this page constitutes a financial promotion.
Â
Fewer than 5% of the projects we review receive investment consideration.
Â
Why? Because we’re highly selective.
Â
We look for ventures with scalable models, strong execution potential, and founders who are prepared to do the real work — not just ask for funding.
Â
If we believe in your direction, we may decide to invest — but only after deep due diligence, mutual trust, and a documented agreement.
Our Investment Criteria
We look for ventures that demonstrate:
Clear technical, social, or commercial potential
Early signs of validation (traction, grants, partnerships, or pilot success)
Commitment and resilience from the founder or team
Strategic fit within our core themes:
Global positioning
Boutique/luxury brands
IP-led or innovation-driven businesses
We back founders who are prepared to do the real work — not just ask for funding.
The Process
We don’t accept cold pitches or generic decks.
Â
If you’re serious, we invite you to submit a proposal using our official templates.
Â
This helps us both determine if there’s alignment — and whether you’re ready for investment, consulting, or a hybrid of both.

What are the SME Navigator Plans?
Growing a business shouldn’t mean guessing your way forward.
Â
The SME Navigator Plans are designed to remove the guesswork and give you real-time, expert-backed support, tailored for ambitious entrepreneurs, early-stage innovators, and microbusinesses ready to grow smart.
Â
Whether you’re refining your brand, exploring new markets, or preparing for investment, each Navigator plan gives you access to the tools, insight, and strategic input you actually need — not generic advice, not automated templates.
Â
All Navigator clients receive:
Â
- Exclusive discounts on premium reports and advanced courses
- A free market trends briefing valued at £300 (with annual plans)
- Ongoing expert sessions to refine, validate, and adjust your strategy
- Step-by-step guidance from specialists who know your sector
Â
The Navigator Is Your Growth Engine
Â
Most small businesses stall not because of bad ideas—but because they lack structure, insight, or access to the right guidance at the right time.
Â
The SME Navigator gives you exactly that — the frameworks, market evidence, and focused expertise to take action, unlock funding, and build a premium brand that lasts.
Â
If you’re serious about doing this properly, we’re your partners from first step to final pitch.
