What you get — and what you don't
Cafeto offers something specific: advisory that is useful right away, comfortable to afford, and shaped around the way small firms actually operate.
← Back to HomeThe six things that make a difference
Plain language
No jargon, no acronyms. Every idea is explained in terms that make sense for a working business owner.
Transparent pricing
Fixed prices published upfront. No hourly billing, no variable fees, no surprises at the end of an engagement.
Flexible timing
Sessions are arranged around your working rhythm — evenings and Saturdays included, where needed.
Written output
You leave every session with a short written summary — not a formal report, but notes you can actually use.
Local knowledge
Our advice is grounded in the Colombian market — local supplier dynamics, pricing norms, and customer behaviour.
No pressure
You decide the pace and scope. We recommend only what fits your situation, and we never push for more than you need.
Each benefit, explained
Hands-on expertise in small firm operations
Our advisors have worked directly with microenterprises across retail, personal services, food production, and trades. That range matters: when we talk about cash flow or pricing, we are drawing on situations very similar to yours, not on theoretical models built for larger companies.
- Over 200 small firms advised since 2019
- Direct experience across multiple sectors in Antioquia
- Advisors who have managed businesses themselves
A clear, repeatable process
Each service follows a defined structure — not rigid, but consistent enough that you know what to expect. An introductory call, a structured session, written notes, and a follow-up. No open-ended engagements where you wonder when it ends or what you're paying for.
- Defined scope for each service
- Fixed duration with clear deliverables
- Follow-up included in every service
Attentive, personal support
Cafeto is a small practice. That means the person you speak to in your first call is the same person who leads your sessions. There is no handoff, no account manager layer, no junior staff taking notes. The quality of attention stays consistent throughout.
- Same advisor from first contact to follow-up
- Response to messages within one business day
- Support between sessions for Everyday Companion clients
Pricing that fits the scale of a small business
Cafeto's fees start at $118.000 COP for a one-off session and reach $305.000 COP for a full four-week assessment. These prices reflect a deliberate choice to stay accessible — formal business advisory should not require a large budget to access. All prices include follow-up, so there are no extra charges for asking a question afterwards.
- Fixed fees, no hourly billing
- Follow-up included in all services
- Options at three budget levels
Focus on what you can actually change
We do not deliver strategy documents. We identify the two or three things that, if adjusted, would make the most difference in your business right now — and we make sure those things are written down clearly so you can act on them. The goal is always something usable, not something impressive-looking.
- Prioritized next steps, not long wishlists
- Written output you can return to
- Follow-up to check what worked
Cafeto versus typical advisory
Distinctive features
Designed for one- to five-person firms
Most consulting formats assume a team, a budget, and time to implement. Cafeto's formats are built for the opposite: one person, limited time, and a need for advice that fits around the working day.
Notes you keep, not reports you archive
The written output from a Cafeto session is deliberately short — a page or two, in plain language. It is meant to be pinned to a wall or kept in a pocket, not added to a folder and forgotten.
A practice that stays small by choice
Cafeto does not aim to scale into a large agency. Staying small keeps the quality of attention consistent and means clients always work with senior advisors, not junior staff.
Three clear entry points
Whether you want a one-off review, ongoing support over three months, or a focused four-week assessment, there is a clear option with a defined scope and a published price.
