Business and Financial Consultant
Who we are
Advance Consulting is a business and investment advisory firm operating in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. We drive impact through private sector development by supporting the sustainable growth of SMEs in the AgriFood, Renewable Energy and Circular Economy sectors.
By 2050, the number of people who live on our planet will have doubled. We believe that SMEs in AgriFood have a key role in feeding this population, as they hold critical positions along the value chains as producers, input suppliers, off-takers, processors, and distributors. SMEs in the renewable energy sector are pivotal in assuring that 900 million people, who currently do not have electricity, will gain access to affordable energy by 2030. At the same time, we need to transition to a Circular Economy as we cannot sustainably continue extracting the earth’s limited resources.
Our team of 34 dedicated professionals are based at our offices in the Netherlands, Kenya, and Jordan. In addition, 9 passionate consultants from our sister company Advance Insight support high-impact SMEs with their digital transformation from our shared offices in Kenya and the Netherlands.
