How it works.
- Sectors
- Hospitality, leisure, retail and technology: restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, shops, online businesses and startups.
- A clear scope
- Every engagement has a defined output and a length you agree before you start. No open-ended contracts unless you ask for one.
- Jamie on every call
- No juniors and no handovers. The person you speak to first is the person who does the work.
- Where
- Calls by video, wherever you are. Working days in Mallorca by arrangement.
- Discretion
- Mutual NDA as standard. No case studies and no names, which is why there are none on this page.
Built it. Lost it.
Built it again.
I've raised venture capital for my own companies and £130M alongside founders across more than 150 funding rounds, and advised over 350 business owners. I started in my family's restaurant at ten.
In 2018 I lost a business. I moved my family to Spain and rebuilt from nothing. The people I work with get someone who has made the expensive mistakes already.
The record.

What people said.
Word for word. Some names left out: discretion is part of the work.
“Working with Jamie changed our whole trajectory and growth.”
“I worked with Jamie on our funding round. Excellent results.”
“This has been a brilliant service, we fixed some fundamental problems with the narrative and the output was fantastic. Highly recommend working with Jamie.”

“The best pitch deck I've ever seen.”
Questions owners ask.
How does it start?
With a free WhatsApp chat with Jamie, in any language. Say what the business is and the decision in front of you. If Jamie can help, the scope is agreed in writing before any work begins.
What does a business consultant actually do?
Looks at the numbers you have stopped looking at, tells you what they say, and builds the plan to change them: pricing, costs, cash, demand and the right capital at the right time. Then stays on the calls while you do it.
Is it worth it for a small business?
Only if the decision in front of you is worth more than the fee. A pricing change in a restaurant or shop usually is; so is a raise, an opening or a sale. If it is not, Jamie will say so in the first chat.
Do you work with businesses outside Mallorca?
Yes. Calls run by video, so owners across Spain, the UK and Europe take part. Working days in Mallorca are booked ahead.
Nine Bar does not give regulated financial, legal or tax advice.
One chat. Every part of the business.
Money, marketing, websites, buying and selling. One person accountable for all of it.
