We can consult on growth, strategy, culture, ops, M&A, turnarounds and make you an offer for your business.

What We Consult On
Mature Company Strategy: Once you have survived the startup phase, figuring out what to focus on and where you go often the are the next biggest hurdles. Sure, you want better efficiency, higher profits, less expenses, but where do you go from there?
Realizing Untapped Potential: We come across businesses that are sitting on opportunities they know about but either aren't able to devote resources to it or have the understanding of how to develop it properly. Together, we will work with you to determine exactly how it's possible.
Asset Reallocation: Assets can be used in a variety of ways and can sometimes be the answer to your business needs. Let's review your holdings and discuss new ways to maximize the existing assets you have without spending any additional capital.
Turning Around A Floundering Company: Companies that struggle usually have many issues working against them but its often mistaken as just 'poor cash flow'. Allow us time to examine your strategy, growth, branding, sales, culture, marketing or accounting, to find other ways to jump start the business.
Culture Change: Improving company performance in many cases can be turned around by improving the teamwork, or lack there of, in a business. We are experienced in putting together systems and finding personnel that can dramatically alter a company's bottom line.
Mature Company Growth: Scaling a business can happen in many ways and budgets. It's when you have been in business for over three years however, that often the 'tried and true' methods begin experiencing diminishing results.
Mergers & Acquisitions: Following the same strategy that the largest companies in the world use, we are actively pursuing business opportunities to scale our businesses and help others do the same.
Post M&A Integration: Congrats, you just bought a new company! All the hard work is over, right? It's actually just the opposite. Many owners put so much focus on completing the deal that they neglect the delicate time of transition. Be sure to put adequate resources towards this important phase.
How We Get Paid for Consulting
Remember, we are clear on our goal: growing our business through M&A. Although we don't mind sharing our expertise, working on building your brand takes away from building ours. If you are looking for a way to grow together, that would be our priority instead of splitting our time on another project.

We Don't Work With Start-Ups
At this point, we hate to say it, but we just don't like start-ups, franchises or any development driven expansion. Yes, these kinds of companies are often the darlings of the business world and we are the biggest of fans of all the brilliant entrepreneurs who drive the headlines. However, that type of business no longer excites us.
We primarily work with businesses that are having issues with revenue, customers, staffing, or growing and our knowledge, networks, and skillsets can be of value. If you have been in business for 3+ years and are having these challenges, we would love to hear from you.
