We build the bridges that make business move forward
We advise companies on how they are run, secure the partnerships and transactions that accelerate growth, and guide international investors through entry into the Tunisian market.
What we do
Six practice areas covering operational performance, transactions, partnerships, property investment, the legal process of establishing a business in Tunisia, and software licensing.
- 01
Management consulting
We review how your business is run and rebuild the structures, processes and measures holding it back.
- 02
Deal facilitation
We source commercial opportunities, introduce the counterparty and support the negotiation through to signature.
- 03
Business collaboration
We identify partners with complementary capabilities and structure the venture, licence or alliance that connects them.
- 04

We source, verify and negotiate Tunisian property on behalf of international investors.
- 05
Legal business setup in Tunisia
We coordinate company formation in Tunisia end to end, from choice of structure to a fully operational entity.
- 06
Software licensing and distribution
We bring European and international software to Tunisian and regional businesses, and give software publishers a qualified route into new markets.
Consulting built on solid ground
Solidstep Advisory operates at the intersection of management consulting, deal facilitation and foreign investment advisory. We combine operational experience with direct access to decision-makers across Tunisia and Europe, and we apply both on every engagement.
Our clients are distributors, technology companies, investors and service businesses. We help them improve how the business performs day to day, and we open the commercial relationships that allow it to grow faster than it could independently.
Invest in Tunisia
Tunisia combines duty-free access to the European Union, full foreign ownership in most sectors and an operating cost base well below European and Gulf benchmarks. For companies building a Mediterranean or African presence, it is among the most efficient entry points in the region.

How we work
01
Discovery
Defining the brief
We begin with a detailed conversation about your business, your objectives and the obstacles you are facing. The output is a written brief setting out scope, priorities and the result we are working towards.
02
Strategy
Building the plan
We develop an advisory plan covering the operational areas to address, the partnerships worth pursuing and the transactions to prioritise, sequenced by commercial impact and feasibility.
03
Activation
Opening the doors
We make the introductions, coordinate the parties and sit with you through negotiations. Our network is available to you for the duration of the engagement.
04
Delivery
Seeing it through
We remain engaged through implementation, tracking progress against the measures agreed at the outset and reporting on what has actually changed.
Why Solidstep
Direct access to decision-makers
We hold working relationships with distributors, developers, industrial groups and institutions across Tunisia and Europe. Every engagement draws on that network from the first week.
Commercial pace
We work to commercial timelines. Analysis is thorough, reporting is short, and recommendations reach you while the decision is still open.
Aligned incentives
Our fees are structured around outcomes rather than hours. We take on engagements where the result is measurable, and we scope them on that basis from the start.
