We help small and medium enterprises identify operational inefficiencies, guard against fraud, and protect themselves from risky customer onboarding — so you stop losing money and start growing with confidence.
These are the problems Hurdl Consultancy was built to solve. We work with you to find the gaps before they cost you.
Hi, I'm David Urch, founder of Hurdl Consultancy. I've spent my career helping businesses understand and manage the risks they face every day — from operational inefficiencies that quietly drain profit, to fraudulent customers slipping through the cracks.
I set up Hurdl because I saw too many good SMEs losing money to problems that were entirely fixable. You don't need a big corporate consultancy — you need practical, honest advice from someone who's seen these issues up close and knows how to fix them.
Based in the UK and working with businesses across sectors, I bring a friendly, no-jargon approach to operational risk. We'll identify what's costing you, and put a plan in place to stop it.
Let's have a conversationNo unnecessary complexity — just clear, actionable recommendations you can actually implement.
We understand the constraints of smaller businesses and tailor our approach accordingly.
Years of hands-on experience identifying and resolving operational risk across multiple sectors.
We focus on outcomes — reduced losses, stronger controls, and a healthier bottom line.
Every engagement starts with listening. We get to know your business before we make any recommendations — because the right solution depends on your specific situation.
We map your processes end-to-end to find where time, money and effort are being lost — and give you a clear plan to fix it.
We help you understand your fraud exposure and put practical defences in place — without disrupting how your business runs.
Onboarding the wrong customers is costly. We review your processes to ensure you're taking on customers confidently and compliantly.
We're not here to sell you a lengthy report you'll never read. We're here to make a real difference to your business.
We explain everything in plain English. You'll always know exactly what we're doing and why.
Our fees and approach are designed for businesses that don't have a dedicated risk team.
We're not tied to any software or solution provider — our only interest is what's right for you.
We work alongside you, not over you. Every recommendation is discussed and agreed together.
Whether you have a specific problem in mind or just want to explore where the risks might be, I'm happy to have an initial conversation with no obligation. Get in touch and we'll take it from there.
