About Cervitude
What does Cervitude do?
Cervitude is a professional consulting firm specializing in business planning, investor relations, and growth advisory services. We help entrepreneurs and executives launch businesses, raise capital, and expand into new markets through structured packages and tailored consulting.
Who are your typical clients?
Our clients range from startups and early-stage founders to public companies (OTC, NASDAQ, NYSE), as well as international firms entering the U.S. market. We’ve worked with technology startups, restaurants, franchises, service providers, manufacturing companies, and more.
What makes Cervitude different from other consulting firms?
We combine investor relations expertise with business planning and operational consulting—services that are often separated. Our clients benefit from cohesive strategies where the story, the numbers, and the execution are aligned.
Packages & Services
What are your core packages?
We offer three clear solutions:
- Startup Launch Package – For entrepreneurs building from the ground up.
- Investor Readiness Suite – For companies raising capital or preparing to go public.
- Global Growth Solutions – For businesses expanding into new markets or government contracting.
Each package comes in three tiers with escalating features and support.
Can I add services outside of the packages?
Yes. Many clients add niche services such as [Website Design], [Social Media Management], [Outbound Investor Relations Call Center], or [Business Development] to complement their package.
Do you create custom solutions?
Absolutely. If your project doesn’t fit neatly into one of our packages, we’ll scope a custom engagement tailored to your goals.

How quickly can we start?
Most projects begin within 7 business days of signing an agreement. Rush services are available depending on scope.

- Investor Readiness Suite: 4–6 weeks for deck, plan, and model; ongoing IR support available monthly.
- Global Growth Solutions: 6–12 weeks depending on scope (expansion, contracting, systems).
