Verum Consulting

What Verum Consulting does

Verum Consulting, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned boutique advisory firm founded in 2008 by CEO Vik Bangia in Minneapolis, Minnesota, specializing in corporate real estate and facilities management (CRE/FM) outsourcing advisory. The firm guides enterprise clients end-to-end through outsourcing engagements, covering needs analysis, Scope of Work development, RFP reverse-engineering, service-provider selection, contract negotiations, and account transition, supported by its proprietary V.E.R.U.M. team-alignment methodology. Beyond core outsourcing advisory, Verum offers strategy and operations consulting (including M&A support, workplace strategy, and Virtual COO/CWO programs), keynote speaking, and corporate training, and extends its service surface through the OutsourceUSA Network, a curated set of partner firms in adjacent domains such as generative AI tools for CRE/FM, IWMS/CMMS advisory, site selection, and lease administration.

The firm operates virtually with 1-10 employees and bills primarily on Fixed-Fee, Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts payable in equal monthly installments, with speaking engagements charged on a 50% upfront / 50% post-event basis. Named enterprise customers span healthcare (Vitalant), insurance (Nationwide), technology (Intel, Uptake Technologies), distribution (Avnet, Ferguson), and real estate services (Savills, CBRE). The go-to-market motion is consultative and relationship-driven, anchored by the CEO's global keynote speaking presence across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LATAM, supplemented by three published books, LinkedIn/YouTube/X content, and direct enterprise outreach.

The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no acquisition activity. Its competitive position rests on Vik Bangia's 30+ year industry tenure spanning corporate and service-provider perspectives, the branded V.E.R.U.M. methodology, accumulated thought leadership, and the OutsourceUSA partner ecosystem rather than on proprietary technology or scaled delivery capacity.

• Colliers International: Global professional services and investment management firm with enterprise CRE advisory and workplace strategy offerings. Competes with Verum for enterprise outsourcing advisory mandates while also providing brokerage and asset management.

• CBRE: World's largest commercial real estate services company with corporate outsourcing advisory, workplace strategy, and facilities management consulting practices. Verum has actively engaged CBRE as a service provider in client work, and CBRE's advisory arm competes for the same enterprise mandates.

• Savills: Global real estate services firm with occupier advisory and outsourcing consulting capabilities. Verum has delivered joint work with Savills as a service provider, and Savills' outsourcing advisory arm competes in the same enterprise space.

JLL competes in the same enterprise outsourcing advisory space as Verum but at vastly greater scale and with bundled technology and brokerage capabilities.

Direct peers

Others
