Strategy rooted in how businesses actually work

I'm Taylor Sorensen, founder of Arbour Strategy. My background is unique and gives me a wholistic insight into how businesses operate and how they can improve.

Early in my career I worked inside a startup from the ground up, getting my hands dirty across sales, marketing, operations, logistics, and finance. I know what it feels like to wear every hat and make things work with limited resources.

Since then I've spent several years in financial roles across the US and UK, which means I understand not just the strategy, but the numbers behind it too.

I set up Arbour Strategy because good strategic thinking shouldn't be reserved for large companies with big budgets. Small and growing businesses deserve the same quality of thought, delivered in a way that's honest and practical.

What we offer

Practical support at every stage of growth

Business Strategy & Growth Planning

Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale, I'll work with you to build a clear, actionable plan. We'll look at where you are, where you want to be, and the most practical route to get there — without the jargon or unnecessary complexity.

Operations & Process Improvement

Growing businesses often hit a point where the way things are done starts to slow them down. I help identify the bottlenecks, streamline your processes, and put the right structures in place so your business can grow without grinding to a halt.

Let's have a conversation

If you're a business owner in the North East thinking about growth, facing a challenge, or simply not sure where to start — I'd love to hear from you. No hard sell, just an honest conversation about what you need.
