How to Start and Run IT Consultancy Business: Become a Consultant, IT Entrepreneur or Start an Information Technology Consulting Firm

Should you become an IT consultant — and if so, how do you actually set it up?

How to Start and Run IT Consultancy Business walks first-time consultants and IT entrepreneurs through the decision points most guides skip: whether consulting is the right move for you, how to structure the business correctly from day one, and what it actually takes to land clients and compete once you're up and running.

This edition adds a layer earlier guides couldn't cover — how AI tools and offshore delivery now fit into a modern IT consulting practice, and how to talk about both credibly with clients.

Inside, you'll find a clear framework for deciding if consulting is right for you before you commit, step-by-step guidance on structuring, registering, and financing your firm, practical advice on winning your first clients and standing out from competitors, and what's changed in the industry as AI and automation reshape the playbook.

Written by an accomplished IT consultant, entrepreneur, and investor, this book is for anyone who wants to be taken seriously as a competent IT consultant — whether you're weighing the leap or already building your firm.
