  Winning Investor Support  
 

Would an investor be ready to put money into your business? Does the Business Plan hold up to close scrutiny?

Growth Recovery

 
 

Many companies hit a "plateau" at some stage in their existence - growth stops or slows, and without firm management action, it can then go into decline. Short-term thinking and a cost focus set in, as the management team loses confidence and becomes increasingly introspective. The service focuses on helping the company back into growth.

 Planning Organisational Growth

 
 

For the company which has grown successfully to a certain stage, but is finding it difficult to put in place the controls and systems that are appropriate for a company of its new size, or is uncertain what needs to be done to  prepare for the next phase of growth.

 

    When is a company "top heavy"? Defining an appropriate management structure which has room to grow with the business. Responsibilities and skills required.  
 

 

People - skills required to run a larger (and growing) organisation.

 
 

 

Funding issues - planning ahead.

 
    Business Risk Assessments - who, how and when?  
    Monitoring and control - financial ratios and key performance indicators.  
         
         
 

Acquisition Strategies

 
 

Inorganic growth by means of an acquisition can clearly be an indispensable part of a growth strategy, but finding the right target - discretely - is not easy. An acquisition can also be driven by opportunity or need, and here proper analysis of the business case, the partner "fit", and a realistic assessment of the risks and benefits are crucial. 

 

    National or international target search. Detailed target analysis, including discrete intelligence research on key individuals.  
 

 

Realistic merger benefit assessments - impact on sales, market position and profitability.

 
 

 

Management audit - forging one team out of two.

 
    Post-deal integration plan.
