"How's business?" It's the initial query we pose, and while many business owners often respond positively, there's always room for improvement.
Seeking an advisor who grasps the intricacies of your business and goes beyond mere theoretical advice?
We refrain from advising on businesses we don't comprehend. This means diving deep into understanding your business, your objectives, and what sets your business apart. We offer pragmatic and business-minded guidance on enhancing various aspects of your business, including cash flow, ultimately enhancing your overall satisfaction in running your business.
Our business advisory service collaborates closely with your existing professionals. If you're considering a change, we're here to help you assemble the optimal team for your business needs.
Business planning stands as a pivotal process for any company, irrespective of its scale or sector. A meticulously crafted business plan serves as a guiding framework for the business, delineating objectives, strategies, and potential obstacles.
We frequently encounter sentiments like "I need to focus on working on my business, not just in it," underscoring the significance of undertaking a business planning exercise. Your business plan essentially maps out the trajectory of your business, identifying areas for improvement and laying out the necessary steps to attain your goals. We assist you in initiating the process of strategically working on your business.
Contrary to the common perception of a business plan as a static document consigned to obscurity, we advocate for its active integration into your business operations. It serves as a dynamic reference point, holding you accountable and ensuring that your business empowers you to achieve various forms of freedom—be it mental, temporal, or financial—which should naturally accompany business ownership.
Despite its critical importance, business planning often remains an afterthought for many businesses. As part of our ongoing advisory services, we offer a simplified business plan and accountability chart to businesses seeking a change in direction, aiding them in maintaining accountability.
For all businesses we engage with, the business planning process is an integral aspect of our standard service offering. It serves as a cornerstone for comprehending both you and your business, as well as your aspirations and objectives.
Technology plays a pivotal role in achieving business success, and we offer solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their current systems or explore alternative options.
For businesses seeking clarity on available options and their alignment with their operations, we provide a tech stack or technology alignment service. This involves assessing your business needs and identifying the most suitable software packages to achieve your desired outcomes. Typically, this includes an evaluation of your financial reporting and accounting platforms to ensure you receive insightful reports tailored to your business.
While we are not an accounting firm, we collaborate with your existing accountant or help you find one best suited to your requirements. Additionally, we offer support in selecting a bookkeeper or bookkeeping firm, which can range from participating in the interview and selection process to engaging a human resources firm on your behalf.
Access to accurate information is crucial for business success, and we ensure that you receive relevant information tailored to your needs. We assist in ensuring that you can access the best information efficiently, utilizing available tools to simplify business management.
If you're seeking insight into the business you're acquiring or need clarity on the systems necessary for your business, we're here to guide you through understanding the landscape and what's required.
Teaming up with a proficient group of experts, we can offer feasibility studies and due diligence for business acquisitions, along with crafting strategic post-acquisition plans spanning twelve and 24 months to foster viability.
Our guidance encompasses navigating the handover process, optimizing your technology platform, streamlining financial reporting, refining marketing strategies, managing human resources, and establishing clear goals and objectives.
Recognizing the complexity of business structures, we'll steer you towards the most suitable options tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that you're equipped with the right framework before diving into your venture.
For those considering purchasing an existing business, we provide pre-acquisition financial counsel, while startups can benefit from our assistance in budgeting and business planning.
Our commitment lies in delivering practical commercial advice, offering a realistic perspective on the business ventures you're considering.
Having collaborated with both franchisors and franchisees, we boast extensive expertise in advising individuals contemplating franchise ownership. Our services encompass aiding in the due diligence process, comprehending the franchise agreement, and assisting in the preparation of financial projections and cash flow summaries.
This service stands alone and involves offering counsel on the feasibility of the proposed franchise. Based on our experience, approximately half of the time, we may advise against proceeding with the proposed franchise. We'll provide guidance on guarantees, lease obligations, funding agreements, and the inherent risks associated with the franchise under consideration.
We don't offer a superficial advisory service; our engagement entails assessing viability, conducting a critical analysis of growth projections, and providing both verbal and written summaries of our perspectives on the franchise's status. Leveraging our work with numerous financially successful master franchise businesses and their franchisees, we offer direct and candid advice.
We recognize the excitement of embarking on entrepreneurship and view franchising as a frequently advantageous avenue for success. However, we're also cognizant of potential pitfalls and are committed to working with you to ensure that the franchise you're considering aligns with your aspirations and objectives.
