FKC Consulting

What FKC Consulting does

FKC Consulting (legal entity: FKC Consult GmbH) is a German cross-industry management consultancy founded in 1996 and headquartered in Lübeck, Germany. The firm employs approximately 50 specialized professionals — personal advisors, engineers, jurists, and process managers — and delivers consulting services across four pillars: occupational health and safety (Arbeitsschutz), process management (ISO 9001, 45001, 14001, 50001, 27001), data protection (DSGVO/GDPR, NIS2), and training. It claims approximately 1,400 active client projects reaching roughly one million employees through client companies, with named customers spanning HR services, manufacturing, and protective solutions.

The company's technology footprint consists of three proprietary platforms: SiMed-NET (a digital occupational safety management platform for documentation, risk assessment, and compliance tracking), WHISTLE-NET (a whistleblower reporting system compliant with the Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz), and FKC-Akademie (an e-learning portal with modular courses, progress tracking, and certificate generation). These platforms convert parts of the firm's consulting know-how into recurring software and self-serve training offerings alongside traditional on-site services.

Go-to-market is sales-led and primarily domestic (Germany), combining phone/website inbound with inside-sales qualification, free initial consultations, and regional on-site consultants distributed across the country. Recent expansion has reached the Hamburg metropolitan area and North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) under the 'FKCGOESNRW' initiative. Revenue is generated through professional services fees (quote-based, with select training priced per participant — e.g., €350 for Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz training) and recurring compliance retainers such as external data protection officer mandates. The firm is privately held, founder-managed, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
