The wrong hire costs more than you think.

Most UK businesses find their accountant, solicitor or consultant through a referral or a rushed online search. One in three regret the decision. Bad advice, missed deadlines, wrong-fit expertise. The cost isn't just money - it's time you don't get back.

THE COST OF A BAD HIREWhat UK businesses lose when they hire wrong
3-6 MONTHS OF WASTED TIMEAverage time spent realising an expert isn't right, then finding, briefing and onboarding a replacement.
FEES PAID, RESULTS NOT DELIVEREDUK SMEs lose an estimated £1.3bn annually on professional advice that doesn't deliver measurable outcomes.
DECISIONS MADE ON BAD ADVICEWrong legal, financial or HR advice doesn't just cost money - it creates downstream problems that compound.
STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCHFinding a new expert means re-explaining context, re-briefing, and rebuilding trust. That's a tax on your time and focus.

The Real Cost

Hiring wrong is expensive.
Hiring right is easy.

The problem isn't finding someone. It's finding the right someone. Here's what typically goes wrong — and what FaBE does differently.


THE RISK

Referrals aren't vetting

A friend's recommendation tells you they had a good experience. It says nothing about whether this expert is right for your situation, your industry or your budget.


THE RISK

Visibility isn't credibility

Appearing on page one of Google or in a directory doesn't mean an expert is any good. It means they know SEO — or paid for placement.


THE FABE DIFFERENCE

Every expert independently vetted

We check experience, track record, delivery quality and how clearly each expert communicates value. If they don't meet our standards, they don't join.

Free to search. No commissions. Ever.

You pay the expert directly for the work they do. FaBE never takes a cut. What you negotiate is what you pay — full stop.

How It Works

The right expert in minutes,
not weeks.

No referral roulette. No agency markups. No wasted calls with the wrong person.

Search by expertise and city

Type what you need and where you are. Filter by specialism, location, and availability. Every result has been vetted.

Review real profiles and track records

Each expert profile includes verified experience, client types, and delivery focus. You see substance — not sales copy.

Contact directly. No middleman.

Reach out to the expert yourself. No agency taking a cut. No commission. The fee you agree is the fee you pay.

Our Vetting Standard

Not everyone who
applies gets listed.

FaBE has a vetting process that most applicants don't expect. That's intentional. We reject experts so you don't have to.
