You do not need another vague “business guru”. You need a trusted adviser who helps you clarify your options, protect what you have built, and take practical action toward growth, succession or exit.
Unicorn Consultants is a boutique business advisory practice focused on helping established business owners make clearer decisions about growth, performance, succession, exit and risk.
We work with owners who often feel they are working harder than ever, but are not seeing the returns, structure or freedom they expected from business ownership.
The goal is not simply to grow. The goal is to create options.
Options to grow, step back, transition, sell, protect wealth, or build a business that better supports the life you want.The unicorn is not about chasing fantasy. It is about being rare and valuable in a crowded world of generic coaches, consultants and advisers.
Helps you think clearly, stay accountable, ask better questions and avoid being trapped by old habits or assumptions.
Draws on real-world experience to help you avoid predictable mistakes and make more grounded business decisions.
Brings structured thinking to strategy, succession, risk, performance and the practical work of moving forward.
Each role can be valuable. The difference is in how they support you — and how much practical structure they bring to the next phase of your business.
A coach typically helps you think through goals, motivation and follow-through.
A mentor often brings experience from a similar path and offers practical insight.
A Unicorn Consultant blends coaching and mentoring with structured business advisory.
The starting point is a structured conversation about your goals, challenges and options. From there, we help identify priorities and practical next steps.
We clarify your goals, current challenges and whether there is a good fit for practical advisory support.
We assess key areas such as strategy, financials, systems, people, risk and succession.
You can choose ongoing advisory support or targeted projects depending on your priorities and timeframe.
Unicorn Consultants offers advisory memberships designed for different stages of the journey — from regular guidance and accountability through to deeper support for complex businesses and major transitions.

Graeme S.No. While Unicorn Consultants is based on the Gold Coast, we support business owners across Australia through a mix of in-person and online conversations.
We generally work with established small to mid-sized businesses with existing revenue, operating complexity and an owner looking for clarity on the next three to ten years.
It is a blend. You receive coaching to think clearly, mentoring drawn from experience, and consulting/advisory support to design, stress-test and implement practical strategies.
It is a structured conversation where we explore your goals, concerns, pressure points and possible next steps. The aim is to confirm whether there is a good mutual fit.
