CERT Consultancy

CERT Consultancy is a UK-based organisation that provides practical development and advisory services to social enterprises, voluntary organisations and community sector bodies. From its base in North Lincolnshire, it supports charities, community groups and public sector partners with a wide range of organisational development services rather than direct apprenticeship delivery. The consultancy’s offer includes support with charitable registration, feasibility studies, legal structures and company formation, helping organisations to choose appropriate models and get established. It also delivers business and strategic planning, marketing and market research, and guidance on social return on investment to strengthen sustainability and impact. CERT Consultancy works with boards and leadership teams on governance issues, trustee development, organisational diagnostics and capacity building, as well as financial planning, monitoring and evaluation. The team also assists with externalising public services, troubleshooting for organisations in crisis, and brokering social investment to enable growth. Case studies on the website highlight work with charities, social enterprises and public bodies to review organisations, develop programmes and support social investment projects. This makes CERT Consultancy a specialist partner for organisations seeking structured, hands-on support to develop or refine their operations and services.
