Keeping you on the expert edge.

Clients Partner with PATCA for Success

As the oldest national association of its kind, PATCA defines the quality standard for the consulting industry. We provide direct access to a network of the highest caliber business and technical consultants, serving clients across the U.S. and around the world.

PATCA's seasoned consultants represent over 200 areas of expertise, enabling your business to meet its unique needs for timely talent and industry-specific knowledge.

Whether your business is acoustics or fiber optics, e-commerce or patent law, PATCA consultants can provide the solution you seek—now.

Our mission is to be the trusted resource you rely on when you need the expert edge.

"Without PATCA, we would still be looking around for engineers. PATCA is really valuable for a company like mine, without our own engineers on staff."

"Once I know a consultant is in PATCA, they are 60 yards down the field already. That gives them more credibility."

Consultants Gain the PATCA Edge

Since 1975, PATCA has been the premier destination for professional consultants. As a non-profit association founded and run by consulting experts, PATCA pioneered new ways of networking and developed the first free client referral service.

We provide expert solutions to clients in a broad array of disciplines, from biotech to marketing, HR to engineering.

As a PATCA consultant, you'll have an unparalleled opportunity to:

• reap new business leads
• expand your consulting practice
• increase your Internet visibility
• accelerate your learning curve
• collaborate to market your services
• enhance your professional credibility.

"Leads from PATCA have more than paid for my dues over the years, primarily from clients finding my listing or the link to my site in the online directory."

"One value of PATCA is finding other consultants who could help me. Working on a Committee or the Board, you meet and know... For me, that was extremely useful starting out; later I was coaching others."
