Dabo Consulting

What Dabo Consulting does

Dabo Consulting (legal entity: Grupo Dabo Consulting Empresarial, S.L.) is a Spanish for-profit professional services firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Antequera, Málaga. The company sells an integrated portfolio of three service lines to SMEs across Andalusia: mandatory regulatory compliance (data protection/DPO, food safety self-control, occupational risk prevention, equality/REGCON plans, anti-harassment protocols, whistleblowing channels, working-time registration, anti-money laundering); quality management system implementation and maintenance (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 22000, 50001, 13485, plus EFQM, IFS, BRC); and vocational training (SEPE/Junta de Andalucía subsidized training, FUNDAE programmed/bonificada training, alternation training contracts, official Certificados de Profesionalidad). It also operates a talent search line (Dabotalent) and maintains a portfolio of sub-brands (Dabocalidad, Dabogest, Dabocheckin, Campus Virtual, Canal de Denuncias).

The underlying technology is a set of proprietary platforms wrapped around a traditional consulting practice: the daboGest client document portal, the Dabocheckin attendance system, a Moodle-based Campus Virtual LMS, and a custom Whistleblowing Channel compliant with the EU Whistleblowing Directive. The company itself is certified to ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000, 50001, 13485 and 27001.

Revenue is generated through four professional-services streams: (i) regulatory compliance consulting fees (quote-based), (ii) quality management system implementation/maintenance retainers, (iii) publicly-funded subsidized training delivered through SEPE, the Ministry of Education and Junta de Andalucía/SAE/FSE+ programs, and (iv) FUNDAE-bonificada programmed training offset against employer Social Security credits. The GTM is sales-led, leveraging seven physical offices across Málaga, Cádiz, Almería, Sevilla (two), Écija and Córdoba, plus a Madrid training facility, supported by SEO/content marketing, paid search, microsite landing pages and referral agreements with Andalusian Colegios Profesionales. The customer base is reported at 50,000+ SMEs (with a subsidiary site citing 45,000+), spanning commerce, administration, metal, construction, services, environment, and finance.

Direct peers

• Bureau Veritas Spain: Bureau Veritas is a global Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) firm with a major Spanish presence offering ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001 implementation services and integrated management system audits — directly overlapping Dabo's quality system (Sistemas de Calidad) practice. Both serve Spanish SMEs and corporations with multi-standard certification support.
• AENOR (Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación): AENOR is the dominant Spanish ISO certification body and consulting provider offering ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001 and sector-standard certifications (IFS, BRC). It is Dabo's most direct competitor in ISO implementation and management systems for Spanish firms.
• SGS Spain: SGS operates one of the largest TIC practices in Spain, providing ISO certification audits, food safety (IFS/BRC/ISO 22000), environmental, and information security certifications. The footprint and service mix directly compete with Dabo's Dabocalidad quality systems practice.
• TÜV Rheinland Spain: TÜV Rheinland offers ISO certification, OHS (ISO 45001), information security (ISO 27001) and food safety audits in Spain, overlapping Dabo's full ISO catalog. Strong international brand and enterprise clients position it as a larger competitor in the same Spanish TIC market.
• ICEX / Fundae-accredited training consultoras (e.g., Grupo P&A, Euroformac, Cesur): These accredited Spanish training consultoras deliver FUNDAE bonificada training, SEPE subsidized training, and Certificados de Profesionalidad programs to SMEs — the same subsidies-driven training line that forms Dabo's Formación program. They compete head-to-head for the same Andalusian SME training pools.

Broad incumbents

• Wolters Kluwer Spain (a3conf / CISS): Wolters Kluwer Spain delivers regulatory compliance software, payroll, and advisory solutions for SMEs and accounting firms across Spanish and EU regulations (GDPR, equality, labor law). It represents an incumbent, software-led play in the same regulatory compliance market Dabo addresses with consulting and managed services.
• Deloitte Legal / EY Abelda (Spain labor compliance): Deloitte and EY provide labor law, equality plan, data protection, and regulatory compliance advisory to mid-market and enterprise clients in Spain. They represent the incumbent advisory counterpart and compete for the upper end of Dabo's SME segment that graduates upmarket.

Emerging players

• People First / Cegos Spain: Cegos and People First are Spain-focused training and HR consulting firms offering bonificada training, leadership programs, and corporate compliance workshops. They overlap Dabo's Programmed Training and PRL consulting lines, with a heavier emphasis on executive education.
• Lener Asesores / Ayming Spain: Ayming and Lener are Spanish compliance and subsidy/tax-incentive consultancies supporting SMEs with subsidies (similar to Dabo's Integral Projects for Employment) and regulatory compliance (equality, PRL). Regional scope and SME focus make them comparable emerging players.

Others

• Telefónica Empresas (Compliance / Workplace services): While not a direct competitor, Telefónica and major Spanish telcos bundle workplace/compliance tooling (digital disconnection, jornada registration, whistleblowing channels) into B2B offers that address adjacent SME pain points. They represent infrastructure partners/distributors that could partner with or compete against Dabo's Canal de Denuncias and Dabocheckin products.
