Charlene LaskyWhen businesses go through a rough patch, it often takes more than just grit to get by. Most business owners will suggest contacting a business consultant to help the business stay afloat.
Business consultants are great at helping with growth and simplifying operations through tailored business plans.
I’ve spoken with quite a few small- to medium-sized businesses, and I’ve got a list of our choices for the best business consulting firms in San Diego. With their help, any business can easily double profits.
How much does a business consultation cost in San Diego?
A business consultation in San Diego typically costs between $100 to $500 per hour. The price can easily increase or decrease depending on the retainer fees, the consultant’s level of experience, and the project’s duration.
1. Booz Allen Hamilton

Contact Details: +1 619-725-6500
Operating Hours:
- Open 24 hours
Booz Allen Hamilton uses AI and cybersecurity to enhance businesses’ capabilities. While they don’t offer traditional business consultations, their technology expertise has truly helped businesses that have worked with them.
Their market often focuses on STEM-related businesses, such as healthcare or energy and utilities. Using AI, they offer significant support in improving businesses’ problem-solving and coordination.
I’ve seen firsthand the improvements their technological expertise delivers, greatly simplifying websites and creating complex systems that organize workflows.
Additionally, they’ve even worked with Civil Defense and National Security to help military personnel transition into civilian careers, which many are grateful for.
I’ve found it a joy to read their in-house magazine, “Velocity,” since it features many of their success stories.
Still, I wish they worked with smaller businesses since their services can help boost efficiency even in smaller groups.
Highly respected recruiting firm

They can easily help businesses improve their numbers game. From assisting with bookkeeping to implementing a comprehensive payroll solution, their consultants are fantastic at ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Consultations here are one-on-one with Steven Leibold, their chief advisor. Those who spoke with him were able to streamline tedious tasks and diligently prepare for tax filings.

Booking appointments here is quite easy, as everything is done online. Despite these great services, they sometimes turn work away due to having too many clients, so please contact them beforehand.

4. Infuse System
Address: 4660 La Jolla Village Dr, Suite 100, CA 92122,
Contact Details: +1 702-338-6011
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Infuse System’s Maryam, the owner, believes that personal growth affects both professional and financial growth. This helps clients grow as people while aiding in increasing business profits.
Many clients adore her 3-step program because it has greatly increased their productivity, both their own and their staff’s.
Maryam’s no-excuse coaching process helps clients manage their businesses more efficiently and promotes spending less time being unproductive.
Consultations with her take many different forms, but the most popular are her team training sessions and company consulting. These dig deep into what’s causing specific companies to fail and reorganize them for the better.
She can even help clients improve their public speaking and offer monthly coaching to continuously evaluate a client’s business goals and sales model. I found this to be incredible, especially with the constructive criticism Maryam provides.
However, clients do need a monthly subscription to access their training videos more than once.
Incredibly influential in the growth of my business
“In a short amount of time, Maryam has been incredibly influential in the growth of my business. As a marketing agency owner, she’s not only given me the tools and intel I need to succeed as a leader, but she’s helped me implement role changes, tracking systems, and even develop an affiliate program that benefits my business, my team, my clients, and my partners. It feels like we have the wind at our backs and I’m incredibly grateful for Maryam’s guidance!”
– Erin Pacitti, Google Review
Her way of coaching and training is very different
“With coaching programs, I do not really put the investment since I feel many of them are motivation driven and ‘rah rah’ moments. However, after my first talk with Maryam, her way of coaching and training is very different. The way she adapts and develops systems to help you exceed is her way of coaching. She has taught me a lot in regards to social media and getting in with more of the technology that I have missed. I have worked with Maryam in the last 3 months and my business has changed. I feel more confident and more sense of urgency to do more. I highly recommend her coaching platform to those who want to win and those who are hungry to succeed.”

When dealing with the law, Sage Law Firm is great at helping out businesses in a pinch. Erik Rome, a member of the Kansas Bar Association, provides great advice and is quite knowledgeable about tax and business law.
He helps business owners through every step of the business lifecycle, providing age-old advice on day-to-day operations or simply on an “as-needed” basis.
Erik is also an expert in tax laws, with many of their consultants great at helping businesses understand taxation. Older clients gave him high praise for his great counsel and aid in selling their businesses.
Other services he provides are real estate guidance, which many businesses have used to buy or sell businesses or commercial property. He’s also great at setting up leases and can be helpful during litigation.
Since this is a law firm, expect to pay a high price for their services, but I still think Erik’s services are worth it.
We are grateful Erik took the time to understand our needs
“My wife and I have worked with Erik for many years for our estate and trust planning needs. Erik is knowledgeable, responsive and provides a great level of service. We are grateful Erik took the time to understand our needs and match a plan to fit our goals. Erik managed the process so that we did not feel overwhelmed or rushed. All of our questions were answered expertly and thoroughly.”

Erik has counseled us on wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts and charitable trusts, and I have recommended him to all our colleagues, family and friends.”
