START UP
At the outset, whether the germ of an idea or a fully thought-out proposition, we run a Business Dashboard® assessment to check out its Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
This produces a plan that sets out the actions needed from which the funding requirement can be calculated, and risk assessed.
SCALE UP
For businesses that have grown into market acceptance and now see the opportunity to promote significant growth. We run a Business Forecasting assessment that maps out chosen scenarios in time and money terms and calculates feasibilities.
These can be used to develop funding plans, marketing, operational and people strategies.
MATURE / EXIT
As older businesses approach the top of the ‘bell curve’ we collaborate with the owner to keep them there and able to command a high valuation.
It’s about developing sale prospectuses well in advance that highlight untapped potential and synergies with prospective purchasers whom we identify and target well in advance and stay with you until the deal is done.
VALUATION
The need for a business valuation can arise without warning. An unexpected purchase offer, shareholder dispute or departure, illness, death, share issue, and so on. We believe that like keeping a house in good order, always saleable at top dollar it pays handsomely to be prepared.
So every year we revalue every client’s business and discuss the findings. After all, the better managed a business, the more it’s worth…
EXPERT ADVICE
Every business encounters problems and every owner has ambitions for it that are hard to achieve.
We stay close to clients to understand these as they arise and draw on our very big library of practical actions that solve just about anything.
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Through working with client businesses on their finances we uncover the causes of low profits and poor cashflow. These will be in one or more of marketing, customer service, product quality, systems efficiency, people management.
We are able to use technology that rapidly identifies root causes and builds a corrective implementation plan.
