About SGS Advisory · Updated November 2026

Who we are: the consultancy Stefan Gauci Scicluna founded and leads.

SGS Advisory is a consultancy firm. Owners usually call us for one of two reasons. Sales have stopped growing, or they are growing and too much of it comes back later as refunds and credit notes. Our clients are in the EU, the UK and the UAE. We judge our own work by one thing: did sales go up, and did they stay up?

What we do

Sales performance is our lead service. Everything else we offer is there to support it, because a sale depends on far more than the sales meeting.

Our team

Stefan leads every engagement as Managing Director. Who else works on it depends on what we find. Every one of them has a degree and has done the job before, and you get their names before anything starts.

Sales and marketing

For when the offer is fuzzy, the prices drift, or the CRM is half empty.

Operations and AI

For when deals stall between signature and delivery, or your sales people spend Friday on admin.

Finance and HR

For when you are not sure which deals make money, or who to hire next.

Compliance and quality

For when won deals come back as complaints, refunds or a letter from a regulator.

Stefan Gauci Scicluna, Managing Director. Stefan set up SGS Advisory after twenty years of building and running his own businesses in Malta and the UK. He takes the first call himself and stays until the work is signed off. He also reads everything the team writes before it gets to you. Outside client projects, he coaches owners and managers one to one. More about coaching.

How we work

The same order every time, and you are free to stop after any step.

  1. Free 30-minute callTell us where sales are and where you want them. If a diagnostic would not pay for itself, we say so on the call. Book it here.
  2. DiagnosticWe spend a day with your sales people, read a dozen of your recent proposals and follow three deals from first email to invoice. You come away with a baseline and a 90-day plan, and every action on it has someone’s name next to it.
  3. Strategy, technology, peopleThe strategy goes on paper first. If it says the software is losing you deals, we change the software. If it says you need a person, we help you hire one.
  4. Weekly follow-upOnce a week we sit down with your team and look at the same few figures. What works stays. What does not gets changed. We keep going until sales are where you want them.

What you can expect from us

Where we work

Our clients are businesses in the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates, and businesses that want to sell into those markets.

The firm is run from inside the EU, and we are in the United Kingdom regularly. Work is done partly on site and partly remotely, and the free first call is by video. Larger buyers in all three markets want to see how a supplier works before they sign, and helping you show them is part of the job.
