Services Provided
Most small businesses and nearly all start-ups struggle with limited resources. Key to success is the proper utilization of the resources available. Our team is well versed in the day to day challenges of small business and start-up organizations. We offer services focused on helping these companies overcome resource limitations to achieve sustainable growth. Our focus areas include (a) Business Development – ensuring the company is implementing a sound business development strategy including marketing, sales and strategic partners; (b) Strategic Planning – taking a step back from the daily grind (often impossible for small business owners and managers) and developing a sound strategic road map for the company that includes market analysis, product/service development goals and pricing analysis; (c) Operational Review and Development – quality, repeatable results foster customer loyalty. At the cornerstone for achieving these results are efficient processes and procedures. Our team has years of experience in the review and development sound, efficient operational processes; (d) Financial Planning – the life blood of any business, large or small, is cash flow. Businesses must be looking at cash flow on a frequent, routine basis. This is not simply an accounting exercise, but a detailed review of supplier contracts, customer payment policies, payroll expense timing and access to ready lines of debt/credit. Good financial planning should include a robust tool for accurately predicting cash requirements of the business.
