What we do

Strategy, structure,
funding and execution.

We provide strategic advisory to founders, investors and boards navigating capital, compliance and commercialisation. Engagements combine commercial, financial and operational expertise, in any mix that matches the brief.

01 / Service

Corporate Structuring & Governance

Lean, investor-ready structures and governance frameworks that scale with the business, from new ventures through to capital raising and exit.

02 / Service

Commercial Advisory

Acquisitions, divestments, turnarounds and feasibility reviews. Strategic support grounded in real-world execution across resources, industrials, logistics and technology.

03 / Service

R&D Consulting & Project Management

Consulting and hands-on project and programme management for R&D initiatives. Milestones, expenditure governance and delivery oversight from planning to completion.

04 / Service

Capital Strategy

Aligning capital needs with the right funding. Non-dilutive funding against R&D refunds, early-stage investment, and readiness for private equity or trade sale.

05 / Service

R&D Tax Incentive & Grants

Access to non-dilutive funding through the R&D Tax Incentive and government grants. Eligible-activity identification, robust evidence and project structuring.

06 / Service

Strategic Resourcing

A trusted bench of consultants, operators and commercial leads deployed on a part-time or project basis. Senior capability without the full-time overhead.

Sectors

Built for the sectors that build.

We step in quickly where operational depth matters. Our experience runs heaviest through the resource, industrial and innovation-led sectors that drive the Western Australian economy.

Mining & Resources

Extraction, processing and services across the resource value chain.

Energy & Industrials

Electrification, emissions abatement and heavy-industry innovation.

Logistics & Transport

Fleet, supply-chain and operational optimisation for asset-heavy operators.

Technology & Software

Platforms, automation and data products from early stage to scale.

Manufacturing

On-shore production, novel materials and process engineering.

Professional & Funds

Capital-markets infrastructure, funds and investor-facing ventures.

How we engage

Embedded, not detached.

A structured engagement that puts senior people inside the business. Scope is agreed before you commit, and the work is aligned to outcomes, not hours.

Scope

We map the commercial or technical brief, the constraints and the outcome that matters. No engagement starts without a defined target.

Structure

We agree the model, retainer, project fee, success fee or a blend, and put the right senior people against the work.

Deliver

We embed and execute. Structuring, capital, R&D or operational delivery, run to milestones with clear reporting.

Transition

We hand back to your team or stay on in a governance role. Capability is transferred, not hoarded.

The model

Senior expertise, sized to
what you actually need.

We understand the realities of early-stage business, including cash-flow constraints and growth timing. Where it fits, we work to flexible payment terms, phased fees and equity-aligned arrangements that tie our incentives to your success.

Outcome 01

Aligned incentives

Where outcomes are measurable, we share the risk. Success-based fees on funding, grants and R&D work put us on the same side of the table.

Outcome 02

No idle overhead

You draw on senior commercial and technical capability when the work demands it, without carrying a permanent executive cost base.

Outcome 03

Execution, not decks

We are operators. Engagements are measured by structures stood up, capital secured and projects delivered, not documents produced.

The firm

A commercial partner that moves at the speed of your business.

Sandfire Consulting partners with founders, investors and boards to unlock value and accelerate growth. Our model embeds senior advisors into businesses on a flexible, outcome-aligned basis, delivering strategy, structure and results without unnecessary overhead.

We work across the full lifecycle, from startup through to exit, with a particular focus on innovation-led ventures and capital-efficient growth. Legal execution, where required, is delivered through our associated law practice so you get the right advice from the right entity.
