BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM

For small and medium size businesses

Business Owners today are having to do more with less and certainly can't cover all the areas. Too often we find the business owner is like a hamster on the wheel who is peddling faster and faster and yet going nowhere. We call that working in the business rather than working in the business rather than working on the business. As your Business Advisor we help you to see the wood from the trees, to set clear goals and overcome obstacles that are in the way. Too often consultants concentrate solely on the numbers and the tangible assets. However over 70% of the assets in a business are non-tangible and the biggest portion of that is your people, so we will provide tangible assistance in all traditional areas but we will balance it with coaching where appropriate to improve your work/life balance and get the most out of you and your team. It is important to remember that whatever your goals, you can't drag your team across that imaginary line, they have to carry you across it.

We can address any challenge a business owner, entrepreneur or executive faces today and customize the delivery platform and timeline, but our core services are built around:

Areas of Expertise

  • Strategic Planning
  • Business Plans
  • Exit Strategies
  • Sales and Marketing Operations
  • Operations
  • Workflow Analysis
  • Financial Analysis
  • Recruiting Strategies
  • Raising Capital
  • Employee Alignment
  • Family Businesses
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Communications
  • Business Turnaround

The Business Support Program involves a combination of on-site visits, assessment tools and email/phone support but will be customized to your needs. We believe in having some skin in the game, so we don't require a long term contract merely a handshake and a commitment up front that you are in it for the long haul.
