The UK ↔ Europe channel specialist for B2B tech and industrial brands
Helping technology and industrial brands enter, scale and restructure across the UK, DACH and wider Europe, with support in English, German and French.
Built on 23 years of hands-on channel experience across global IT vendors, distributors and resellers.
Who we work with.
ELZOMI is built for B2B technology businesses: manufacturers, distributors, resellers, and software publishers pursuing cross-border channel growth. We are a particularly strong fit for:
• North American tech brands entering the UK and Europe
• DACH manufacturers - technology and industrial Mittelstand - expanding into the UK
• UK-based B2B tech businesses scaling into DACH and wider Europe
• Founders, MDs, and commercial leaders who need senior expertise without a permanent hire
Who we are not for.
We are not the right fit for B2C or consumer brands, businesses without a channel motion, organisations looking for commission-only sales agents, or buyers shopping primarily on day rate. If that's the conversation, we will be honest about it early on and point you somewhere better.

I've competed at the highest level.
Now I bring that to you.
My commercial career was built winning and managing relationships with some of the world's most demanding organisations.
The rigour, the standards, and the commercial polish that came from operating at that level are exactly what I now bring to founder-led businesses ready to grow.

How we work together.
Most clients enter at the Market Entry Audit and work forward from there. It exists because the two most common ways to waste money entering a new market are picking the wrong partners and getting the compliance wrong, and both are avoidable with the right preparation. The Channel Build turns the resulting plan into signed partners and first pipeline. German Regulatory Cover handles the compliance layer German law requires before you can legally sell into the market, available on its own or alongside any engagement. Retained Commercial Advisory is for founders who want a senior operator embedded over the longer term, not just a plan on a shelf. You can enter at any point, but the sequence exists for a reason.
Market Entry Audit
Where most clients start.
A 4–6 week, fixed-fee engagement that produces your entry plan for the German market - or for DACH-based businesses, the UK. It's built on direct knowledge of how distribution actually works in both markets: who stocks what categories, on what margin terms, and what it realistically takes to get ranged. No recycled research. No guesswork on distributor appetite.
The deliverable is three things:
A named partner map: the distributors and resellers that matter for your category, ranked by fit, with a clear picture of the margin and terms environment you'll be operating in.
A regulatory entry checklist: what is legally required before you can sell (for Germany: WEEE/ElektroG registration, packaging compliance under VerpackG, GPSR, authorised representative), in what order, and what each step costs.
An entry sequence and 90-day go-to-market plan: the route from where you are today to first revenue, with the decisions and trade-offs made explicit rather than papered over.
Timeline: 4–6 weeks
Investment: £15,000, fixed
30-day checkpoint guarantee: At day 30, if you don't believe the plan will get you to market, you walk away with a full refund.
Retained Commercial Advisory
Senior commercial leadership without the permanent hire.
A 6–12 month retained engagement for founders and CEOs who want an operator in the room, not a consultant at arm's length. Someone with twenty-plus years running European channel businesses, who has negotiated with the largest IT resellers in the market and built distribution from scratch in fifteen countries.
This runs as a monthly working cadence with the founder or CEO, covering strategy, live pipeline, and the decisions directly in front of you. Direct involvement in priority deals and partner negotiations. Strategic input on commercial structure, pricing, and hiring. Board-level reporting and presence where required.
Timeline: 6–12 month commitments
Investment: From £5,000 per month
Channel Build
Turning the plan into signed partners and pipeline.
A 3–6 month engagement that delivers what the Diagnostic recommends: the right partners signed, a programme they'll actually work with, and first pipeline opened in the target market. Conducted in English, German, or French.
This covers partner identification, qualification, negotiation, and onboarding through to signature; programme architecture and operating cadence; first pipeline opened and qualified with named end customers; and handover documentation so your team can run the channel without us when the engagement ends.
Timeline: 3–6 months
Investment: Monthly retainer plus success components tied to partner signatures and sell-through. Scoped at the end of the Audit because until the entry plan exists, neither of us knows what the build requires.
German Regulatory Cover (Authorised Representative)
Non-compliance doesn't announce itself. Distributors and marketplaces check, and de-listings happen without warning.
If you sell electrical or electronic equipment into Germany without a German establishment, the law requires you to appoint a German-established authorised representative (Bevollmächtigter) under ElektroG before your first unit ships. WEEE and packaging registrations are mandatory on the same timeline. Miss them, and you're exposed to fines and delisting from the distributors and platforms you're trying to sell through.
ELZOMI takes this off your desk as a retained annual service:
Authorised representative appointment under ElektroG
WEEE registration and ongoing management through stiftung ear
Packaging compliance under VerpackG including LUCID registration and reporting;
GPSR responsible-person requirements reviewed and covered; annual compliance calendar managed on your behalf.
Timeline: Ongoing, annual agreement
Investment: From £495 per month, plus pass-through registration fees
You don't need any other ELZOMI engagement to use this service.
