What hauri emprest does

Hauri emprest AG is a Solothurn-based Swiss management consultancy founded in 2022 that delivers knowledge transfer, AI training, leadership coaching, and management support services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and individual executives. The firm was established by Michel Hauri, a former Division Manager at SBB with 30+ years of experience in Swiss railway and public transportation, and operates with 1–10 employees in what appears to be a sole-practitioner model under his direction.

The company's service portfolio spans six core offerings — Wissenstransfer für KMU, KI-Schulungen (AI training), Management Support, Selbstmanagement, Team- und Gruppenführung, and Konfliktmanagement — delivered through workshops, in-house training, individual coaching, structured knowledge-documentation interviews, and interim management engagements. The Wissensverlust-Check, a free 30-question digital self-assessment tool, serves as a top-of-funnel lead generator. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm operates as a professional services consultancy using standard digital tools for assessment and delivery.

Commercially, Hauri emprest AG generates revenue through day-rate and project-based professional services engagements priced per quote rather than via published rate cards. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach via email/phone, the firm's website, and Michel Hauri's personal LinkedIn network. Documented customers are concentrated in Swiss public transportation (Verkehrsbetriebe Biel, Aargau Verkehr AG, BLS – Busland AG), with the broader target market being Swiss SMEs and executives more generally. The firm holds no disclosed funding, partnerships, patents, or regulatory licenses.
