Strategic Advice

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” ― Abraham Lincoln

 

Before setting goals it is important to understand where the business is positioned and what is actually possible considering that positioning. Some of the questions we help answer are:

 

  • Is it the right time to sell?

  • What is the business worth?

  • What are the market conditions?

  • Should we divest a division of a business?

  • Can we grow via acquisition? What are the best targets?

  • Can we raise capital? How and from what source? What are the repercussions of each option?

  • Can management acquire the business that they work for (MBO)?​
