Advice from people who’ve run businesses

We started Halden & Rowe because owners told us the same thing: good advice was hard to book and harder to afford. So we made every consultant bookable online, at a fixed price.

How we work

Three promises in every session

Fixed prices

The price on the booking page is the price you pay. No hourly surprises.

Senior people only

You meet the consultant you booked, never a junior stand-in.

Something in writing

Every paid session ends with a written summary you can act on.
