Consa

What Consa does

Consa (legal name: CONSA Centro Studi e Consulenza s.c.) is an Italian cooperative consulting firm founded in 2008 in the Molise region by two young graduates, providing workplace safety and food safety compliance services to small and medium-sized businesses. The firm operates from a legal registered office in Foggia (Apulia) and a primary local unit in Termoli (Campobasso, Molise), and serves over 400 clients, primarily pizzerias, pastry shops, wholesale food operators, and small professional practices. Its service portfolio covers 11+ modules including Sicurezza sul Lavoro, HACCP, food labeling, voluntary certifications, health bureaucracy navigation, water testing, training, documentation, anti-contagion protocols, shelf life determination, and RLST representation, delivered through its proprietary 'Metodo Consa' methodology and an advanced 'Percorso di Eccellenza' add-on.

The business model is sales-led and consulting-based: revenue is generated through quote-based, personalized multi-year contracts tailored to each client's regulatory scope, with no public pricing. The go-to-market combines direct outreach, client referrals, and inbound via the studio website, supported by Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and a content blog. There is no technology platform, no software product, and no digital self-service channel; every engagement is human-delivered, with consultants accompanying clients through regulatory inspections and ongoing compliance. The firm is bootstrapped with no external investors, no parent company, and operates as a società cooperativa (cooperative society), with no disclosed financial scale and a likely active team well below ten people.
