An external business partner for entrepreneurs and SMEs — built around procurement, operations and the day-to-day mechanics of running a small company.
Dominik Prelec founded Meridian after years working inside large retail organisations — in retail procurement, supplier negotiations, category and price management, and the daily execution that holds those decisions together — and on the supplier side of the same conversations.
Those years made one thing clear: most problems in small and mid-sized companies are not strategic. They are operational. Wrong supplier, untracked cost, missing process, an owner who is the only person who knows how anything actually works.
Meridian was built to work at that level. Structured but realistic. Aimed at decisions an owner can actually carry out next week.
Founder · Meridian Consulting
Dominik spent years inside a large retail organisation and on the supplier side — in procurement, supplier negotiations, category and price management, and the daily execution that holds those decisions together. The texture of those years matters more than the titles: how cost structures actually look once they are opened up, how suppliers behave when alternatives become visible, where small companies leak margin without noticing.
Meridian Consulting brings that experience to sole proprietors and small companies in a format they can actually use — concise business plans, practical procurement work, business organisation and product development. The approach is structured but realistic. The deliverable is not a thicker document; it is a decision the owner can implement on Monday.
“Sitting on both sides of the table is rare — procurement inside a large retailer, and commercial work on the supplier side. Meridian grew out of that perspective.”
The scope is honest, the conclusions are plain, and the recommendations are written so they can survive contact with daily operations. The job ends when the owner can act — not when the document is sent.
The way of working grew out of concrete operational experience — not from theory or a methodology slide.
Meridian Consulting is built on practical business experience — from business planning and launch preparation to procurement, supplier communication, operations and commercial development. These examples show the type of business logic behind our consulting approach.
The examples include own and connected business projects. Their purpose is to show the type of work and the kind of problems Meridian helps with — not to present them as standard external consulting clients.
An example of a service business launch where business planning, brand positioning, operational preparation and market entry had to work together from the beginning.
An approved self-employment grant and a clear business, financial and digital framework set up to actually launch the business.
An example of a production-oriented B2B business where supplier communication, international outreach, pricing logic, product positioning and operational reliability play a central role.
A more structured market and sales approach for EU customers, and a clearer framework for further expansion of sales opportunities beyond the local market.
A recommendation without implementation is just a document. Meridian exists to make decisions work.
Confidential initial conversation — no obligation.
