We specialize in:

Business Strategy. We will help you define and establish clear goals for business missions and strategic framework. And show you where and how value-add can be created with innovative product-market combinations.

Market Analysis. Knowing your market's needs, and how it is currently serviced, arms you for reaching growth objectives. We will help you analyze your current market, identify new markets, define your competition, identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, assess environmental or organic changes in your market, and more.

Management Reporting Systems. Whether you're expanding business lines, entering new markets, or working to improve your operations performance, we will provide expert counsel and recommendations for implementing management reporting tools. Our team will develop specifications for capturing or reporting data, develop effective benchmarking programs, and identify information critical to monitoring and supporting your operation.

Product Innovation. New product development is predicated on balancing available R&D resources with a projected return on investment. We will help you conduct market analysis, develop clear product strategies, evaluate product maintenance requirements, and analyze sales opportunities.

Turnaround Management. We can help you analyze the status and condition of your company for a "go-forward" or "close down" decision. And then we will help you execute the resolution of that decision, with the best possible recovery or utilization of assets for investors or debt holders. We define the best possible business model, market strategy, product platform, and, if required, replacement management.

New Ventures and Start-up Companies. There are a myriad of decisions involved in starting a new business. Our team can help you identify and evaluate objectives, goals, and structure. Most importantly, we will help you create a formal business plan.

Executive Mentoring. As a senior executive, you may deal with a multitude of situations from merger & acquisition opportunities, evaluations of law firms, accounting firms, investment banks, and hiring trusted talent. You may also find yourself dealing with unsatisfied vendors, customers and staff, considering downsizing, restructuring your equity or debt, and reconciling your assets.

We can help guide your business and mentor your senior executives during a critical ramp-up or downsizing. We can advise those who have not filled executive roles in the past, or executives who would like an advisor to provide a different perspective. Our principals are highly qualified to provide personalized coaching and insight to a young or inexperienced management team.

Mentor Capitalists. Whether you are preparing for the next stage of your growth or are just getting started, we have the experience, resources, and relationships necessary to help you acquire capital. We are not venture capitalists nor investment bankers. But we can steer you in the proper direction.
