Business strategy that actually gets done

Business strategy
that actually
gets done.

Not all consultancies fit everyone.

We work best with a specific type of client. If this sounds like you, let's talk.

Primary Client

The Compliance Newcomer

Founder / CEO · Pharma or life sciences startup

Technically sharp — scientist or pharmacist by training — but you've hit a wall on regulatory compliance. An MHRA inspection is on the calendar and you need someone who's done this before. Yesterday.

  • "How do we achieve GMP certification from scratch?"
  • "Does our product need FDA approval? We don't know where to start."
  • "We have an MHRA inspection in 8 weeks and are not prepared."
Also a Good Fit

The Overstretched QA Manager

QA / RA Manager · Growing biotech or generic manufacturer

You know your stuff but the volume is overwhelming. A new market entry, an FDA submission, a system upgrade — you need a specialist who can slot in and deliver without hand-holding.

  • "We need regulatory backup for a specific project — not a full retainer."
  • "How do we structure this IMPD for MHRA submission?"
  • "Our QMS documentation needs to hold up to a third-party audit."
Strategic Accounts

The Operator at an Inflection Point

CEO / MD · Established manufacturer or any business at scale

You're running a business that needs an external perspective — market expansion, operational efficiency, or a new strategy. Formal consulting engagement. Decision cycle 1–4 months.

  • "We need a structured approach to scaling up our operations."
  • "Market expansion — what does the regulatory pathway look like?"
  • "External perspective on our unit economics and business model."
Typical Consultant

Bill by the hour.
Recommend what's already on the shelf.

Most consultants hand you a framework. We hand you a plan that survives scrutiny — and that your team can actually execute.

PBA Ventures

Fixed-scope. Named consultant.
Working from your reality.

We built our consulting methodology inside regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing — where there is no margin for vague strategy or impractical frameworks. You get the same methodology, same accountability, same commitment to your outcomes.

Two services. One principle:

We only make money when you make money. Every engagement is structured around your outcomes, not our billable hours.

Business Strategy & Operational Excellence

Companies at an inflection point. Growth stalled, unit economics unclear, or pivoting your business model? We bring the same structured thinking that works in regulated pharma to your commercial strategy.
