What we do
Aravis Advisory offers customised and personal strategic advisory support, alongside the Aravis Business Club and AraVisual Decision-ready Business Information Tool.
Our expertise is in helping business owners optimise their Operations & Production, Commercialisation, Risk Management and Financial Modelling, analysis & monitoring.
Our Expertise
We support start-ups, scale-ups, stay-ups, mature businesses and diversification projects across various sectors including Food & Drink Production & Manufacturing, Advanced Protected Horticulture (vertical farms & glasshouses), vineyards/viticulture & wine production, agriculture, farming and the rural economy.
Our Service
We understand the importance of flexibility and practicality in the support you need.

Business Mentoring & Support
We strongly believe in the power of peer-to-peer mentoring, learning and problem-solving. We work with small groups of ambitious founders by holding monthly in-person events at great venues sometimes with expert guest speakers, using our Charter of Learning, Support, Respect, Confidentiality and Commitment.
We then support with action-based 1-2-1 mentoring through a small group of experts, whilst providing strategic insight, guidance and financing through our AraVisual Decision Ready Business Information Tool.

In partnership with Bellingan Insurance Brokers, we are developing a new Decision- Ready Business Risk Matrix tool to generate a visual picture of key strategic business risks, their financial impact and a clear risk mitigation strategy for each and link this to the Financial Scorecard.

In Partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University
Iain studied MA Management Studies and completed his Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies at the University. He found studying at CCCU a transformational experience, which boosted his skills, knowledge, and confidence.
In announcing their first ever scholarship in 2024, Iain said “I am incredibly proud of having studied at Canterbury Christ Church University and having had such a genuinely life changing experience. I thought it was important that we should do something to directly help and encourage students to have the same opportunity"
Iain and Julie hope that with the help and support of the new funding initiatives, students can grow into future leaders of the Kent economy. More on the Futures Scholarships can be found here:

Ayo Akomolede
“This scholarship is not just a financial support, it serves as a stepping stone toward my future career and opens doors to opportunities. It also motivates me to give back to others, particularly my fellow students at the university who may be navigating similar challenges. I understand the transformative power of scholarships, and I am committed to being a role model for others, demonstrating how mentorship and support can change lives. ”
