that keep Miami growing.
ESLU Strategies is a management consulting firm built for small and mid-sized businesses: owners and leadership teams ready to grow with structure, focus and a clear plan.

WHO WE SERVE
Small and mid-sized businesses
WHAT WE DO
Strategy, operations and executive advisory
— OUR STORY —
Big-company strategy, built for growing businesses.
Large corporations have strategy teams, operating models and advisers on call. Most growing businesses have an owner and a handful of leaders carrying everything at once, making high-stakes decisions without the time or structure to step back.
ESLU Strategies was founded in Miami in 2026 to close that gap. We bring the discipline of top-tier consulting to small and mid-sized businesses, sized to their stage, their budget and their goals, and we stay involved until the plan becomes results.
Good advice is only the beginning. Our work is measured by what changes in your business.
OUR VISION
To be the trusted strategy partner for Miami's small and mid-sized businesses, and a model for how consulting should work.

— FAQ —
Questions, answered.
The most common questions we hear from owners and leadership teams before we start working together.
Still have a question?
[email protected]
01Which engagement model is right for my business?
Most clients begin with a Diagnostic. It gives you a clear picture of what is holding the business back and a prioritized roadmap, and from there we recommend whether a Project, Retainer, Interim leadership or a combination fits best. If you already know the challenge, we can scope a Project directly.
02How much does it cost?
Our published ranges are typical estimates for small and mid-sized businesses: Diagnostics from $2,500, Workshops from $2,000 per day, Retainers from $3,000 per month, and Projects from $10,000. Every engagement is quoted individually, and the binding fee is set in a signed Statement of Work before any work begins.
03How long does an engagement take?
A Diagnostic typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, Workshops 1 to 2 days, and Projects 1 to 6 months depending on scope. Retainers and Interim leadership run month to month or for an agreed term. The timeline for your engagement is confirmed in your Statement of Work.
04How do you keep our information confidential?
We sign a mutual nondisclosure agreement before you share any sensitive information, and confidentiality obligations are built into our client agreement. Your financials, plans and employee data are used only to deliver our services and are returned or destroyed at the end of the engagement on request.
05How does a performance-based fee work?
We agree on a measurable baseline before work begins, such as current costs or revenue. Our fee is then a set percentage, typically 10% to 30%, of the verified improvement over an agreed period. If there is no measurable improvement, there is no performance fee. We never guarantee specific results.
06Will you work with our existing team?
Yes. We work alongside your owners, managers and staff, not around them. The goal is to build capability inside your business so the improvements last after our engagement ends.
07Do you provide legal, tax or accounting advice?
No. ESLU provides management consulting and strategic advice. For legal, tax, audit or investment matters, we coordinate with your licensed advisers so recommendations fit together.
08How do we get started?
Email us at [email protected] with a short note about your business and what you would like to improve. We will set up an introductory conversation to understand your goals and recommend the right next step.
