Consulting for company owners
We work directly with the owner. We look at the company as a whole — numbers, people, processes and where AI genuinely helps — and agree on a few concrete steps. Behind it is more than 15 years of running, restructuring and selling companies.
When owners come to us
The situations we see most often:
You are thinking about selling
The whole company, a brand or one part of it — what has value, what to close, and how to negotiate with a buyer.
Everything runs through you
Processes live in people’s heads and inboxes. We set them up so the company runs without you approving every step — with AI where it removes real work.
We are not an agency with a standard package. If what you need is outside what we do well, we will say so on the first call.
How it works
Short, concrete, and with the owner at the table.
- Intro call — free. What is going on, and whether we are the right fit.
- Analysis — numbers, processes, team and tools. How the company actually works, not how the org chart says it does.
- Priorities — together we pick the few steps with the biggest effect for the effort, and write them down with owners and dates.
- Implementation — we stay involved while things change: negotiations, process changes, AI set-up, team training.
Where consulting usually goes wrong
Three things we deliberately avoid:
A report instead of a change
A thick document nobody acts on. Three steps that actually happen are worth more.
Advice that ignores the numbers
Recommendations that do not survive contact with cash flow and the balance sheet. Every step we propose has to make sense in the numbers.
AI for its own sake
Tools bought because everyone has them. AI belongs where it removes real work, with a person approving what matters.

Common questions
Who will I actually work with?
Directly with Jan Louka, the founder of Onrian. The work is not handed over to a junior consultant.
Do you only advise, or also implement?
Both. After agreeing the priorities we stay involved while things change — in negotiations, process changes, AI set-up and team training.
Can you help with selling a company?
Yes — deciding what to sell and what to close, the valuation logic, negotiating with the buyer and closing. This is work we have done for our own companies, not only advised on.
How does AI fit into consulting?
As a tool, not a goal. Where a process repeats or information gets retyped, AI often helps; where it would not, we do not recommend it. Larger AI projects run as our AI integration service.
How much does it cost?
The intro call is free. After that the price depends on the scope of the work and can also be tied to the results of the cooperation. It is agreed before any work starts.
Something in your company you want to sort out?
Tell us what is going on. If we can help, we will say how; if we cannot, we will say that too.
