frequently asked questions

Lincsus is a global business solutions firm that partners with SMEs, start-ups, and group companies to help them grow, scale, and navigate complex challenges. We work across four core areas: fractional C-suite and NED leadership, business consultancy, market expansion, and funding & investment support. Our clients are typically ambitious businesses that need senior expertise to support the growth of their business and help with gaps impacting their plans for success.

We always start with a free consultation to understand your business, your challenges, and what you are trying to achieve. From there, we will propose the most appropriate service, whether that is a fractional hire, a defined consultancy project, or support with expansion or funding. There is no obligation and no jargon. We aim to be genuine and straightforward about what we can help with and what we cannot, allowing us to focus our support properly on the key areas of your business that require support.

Pricing varies depending on the service, scope, and engagement model. Fractional roles are typically structured as a monthly retainer, scaled to the number of days per month required but can also be utilised on a more flexible basis depending on requirements. Consultancy projects are quoted based on scope and deliverables. We are committed to being transparent about cost from the outset and will always discuss commercial terms clearly during the initial consultation.

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us knowing something isn't working but unsure exactly what they need. That's precisely why we start every relationship with a free, no-obligation consultation. We take the time to listen, ask the right questions, and help you work out whether the solution is a fractional hire, a consultancy project, market expansion support, or something else entirely. There's no pressure and no jargon, just an honest conversation about your business and what could genuinely help.

We are not a traditional consultancy in the conventional sense. Where large consultancy firms deliver reports and move on, we stay in the room and take ownership of outcomes. Our model combines embedded fractional leadership with practical, hands-on consultancy meaning you get senior expertise that is genuinely invested in your results. We work with ambitious businesses across the UK and internationally, and we build long-term relationships rather than one-off engagements. We are straightforward, commercially minded, and focused on delivering real impact rather than simply producing documentation.
