Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• CESCE: Spanish export credit agency providing trade-risk advisory and information services to exporters; comparable regional footprint and exporter-facing information services, although operating in credit rather than pure consulting.
• COFIDES: Spanish development finance institution supporting SME internationalization in Latin America; highly comparable due to shared Iberian-LatAm focus and export-promotion mandate, though structured as a public finance entity rather than consultancy.

Broad incumbents

• Indra (Minsait): Large Spanish IT and consulting incumbent with a public-sector practice delivering digital transformation, trade-related platforms and EU-funded program support; broader portfolio but overlapping customer set with S&B's government clients.
• NTT Data EMEAL (formerly EVERIS): Major Spanish-origin consultancy now part of NTT Data with EU-funded public sector programs and digital internationalization platforms; competes for the same institutional clients while offering much broader technology and consulting services.

Direct peers

• Cipher (Competitive Intelligence): Dedicated competitive intelligence consultancy delivering CI research, training and program outsourcing; comparable business model and client profile to S&B's CI service, with similar team-based delivery.
• Gira Competitive Intelligence Advisors: Specialist competitive intelligence consulting firm (formerly Fuld & Company) providing outsourced CI advisory, training and platform-style services to enterprise and government clients; directly overlaps with S&B's Competitive Intelligence service line.
• Ayming Group: European business consulting firm helping SMEs and mid-market companies access subsidies, innovation funding and international market development; closely comparable in serving SMEs seeking internationalization advisory across multiple countries.

Others

• Coface: Global trade credit insurer publishing country/buyer risk intelligence used by exporters; complementary rather than directly competitive, supplying market intelligence that S&B's clients also consume.
• Euromonitor International: International market research and analysis provider covering country entry and consumer data; an adjacent data and advisory provider that competes for the same international market insight budgets S&B targets.
• Mintel: Global market research provider publishing consumer and industry intelligence; an indirect alternative/substitute source for the international market intelligence S&B produces on behalf of SMEs.
