INTRODUCTION
- Pearly Gates Consulting is a business advisory firm dedicated to supporting micro, small, and
medium-sized enterprises through their growth and evolution. We partner with founders and
management teams to help them navigate complexity, strengthen business structure, and build
sustainable, scalable enterprises. - Our work is grounded in deep understanding, targeted research, and context-specific strategy.
By combining strategic insight with regulatory, sustainability, and capital-readiness expertise, we
help MSMEs move from informal or constrained operations to resilient, global-ready
businesses.
PROBLEM - Across emerging markets, over 70% of MSMEs fail within their first five years, not due to lack of
demand, but because of weak structure, unclear strategy, and limited managerial capacity. - Studies consistently show that access to finance, regulatory complexity, and poor internal
systems are among the top constraints facing MSMEs. - Founders are often overextended, operating without governance, sustainability frameworks, or
capital readiness, leaving otherwise viable businesses unable to scale, attract investment, or form
strategic partnerships.
OUR SOLUTION - We help MSMEs evolve into structured, scalable, and investment-ready
businesses through strategy, growth, and sustainability advisory.
WHO WE SERVE - Pearly Gates Consulting works with MSMEs across all sectors.
- Rather than limiting our work to specific industries, we partner with small and medium
sized businesses whose challenges are unique, evolving, and context-specific. - Every MSME faces different constraints including but not limited to market dynamics,
regulatory exposure, leadership capacity, capital access, and growth readiness. Our work
begins with deep understanding, not assumptions.

HOW WE WORK - At Pearly Gates Consulting, our approach is diagnostic, research-driven, and tailored. We begin every
engagement by deeply understanding the client’s business, context, and challenges, recognizing that no two
MSMEs face the same realities. Rather than applying generic solutions, we conduct targeted research and
analysis to identify the root causes of business challenges. - Our work progresses from diagnosis to strategy design, followed by structured advisory support to guide
implementation and decision-making. We collaborate closely with founders and management teams,
providing clarity, direction, and accountability while respecting internal ownership of execution. This
ensures that solutions are practical, relevant, and aligned with the business’s growth stage. - Our engagements are structured, time-bound, and outcome-focused, with clear scope and expectations,
enabling sustainable progress rather than short-term fixes.

readiness expertise to support MSMEs through every phase of growth. - We understand the unique realities of micro, small and medium-sized businesses operating in dynamic
