The business, which has been promoted on national media platforms, charges prospective clients a one-off fee of £25,000 or £250,000 for a “week-long on-site visit by Haston Economics’ team of experts”.

“People are out in the market trying to raise money via the traditional methods of banks, corporate financiers, private equity houses and crowdfunding platforms and such like. It takes ages and nothing is guaranteed.
“We have created a sales and marketing blueprint that
