Satarla

What Satarla does

Satarla is a privately-held UK-based risk management and sustainability consultancy founded in 2014, operating globally with offices in London (headquarters), Johannesburg, and Perth, and distributed core team members in Belgium, Peru, the United States, and Canada. The firm operates as a "constellation of experts" — combining full-time employees, freelancers, and associates who work in remote teams to deliver four service lines: bespoke Consulting (boardroom facilitation, tailored risk management frameworks, risk process automation), Training (in-person and live online courses), Research & Innovation (collaborative work with academic and industry partners), and Workshop & Event Facilitation. Its client base spans sectors including mining and raw materials, agriculture, life sciences, transportation, financial services, education, charities, and government, with engagements ranging from two-person exploration teams through to the largest listed companies.

The company's technology stack centers on its Knowledge Hub (learn.satarla.com), an online learning management system delivered via the Mindsmith LMS and WordPress/WooCommerce, integrated with Stripe payments and hosted on GoDaddy. The Knowledge Hub hosts both scheduled live online training courses and self-paced on-demand eLearning products, alongside a free Toolbox of downloadable visual risk assessment frameworks (Risk Bowtie, Risk Network, Extended Enterprise Map, Impact/Action Map, Controls Framework, Risk Appetite and Tolerance Tool, Risk Articulation Tool, and the "Swans and Elephants" Framework). There is no proprietary AI/ML infrastructure disclosed; technology positioning rests on domain-specialized frameworks and practitioner-authored content.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: bespoke consulting engagements (the largest revenue line by implication, though unconfirmed), live online training priced between £49 and £1,150 per course, on-demand eLearning at £99–£595 with 12-month access, and ancillary workshop facilitation and research work. Distribution mixes self-serve e-commerce for individual course buyers, sales-assisted bespoke engagements for enterprise clients, and a channel partnership with the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3) for the Introduction to Mining course. No external funding, M&A activity, or revenue figures have been publicly disclosed.
