How we can help you reach your goals:


Consulting
Learn about your growth options with customized consulting services.  Each expansion strategy has advantages and disadvantages for your particular business model and industry.  Contact us to receive a free copy of our Proprietary Venture Censor, a colorful primer on the implications of each expansion method available to you.  Services are provided in a seminar or small group format.  

Feasibility Studies
Interested in an analysis of your opportunities, risks and potential if you choose a particular method of growth?  Wondering which distribution or customer channel would benefit you more?  We'll help you benchmark revenues and expenses using substitute and comparable products and services.  Feasibility analyses are much like business plans with a focus on the potential of your concept.  In cases in which concepts do not appear to be feasible, we'll  suggest changes to help you fill market gaps.  The research, analysis and decisions that go into a Feasibility Study can be used as a substitute for a Business Plan or Business Model.  A Franchise Feasibility Study can also be used as a basis for a Franchise Business Plan if the concept fits with franchising.      

Business Model Development and Business Plans 
Business plans have multiple uses.  They can help raise funds.  They will focus your attention.  They tie your loose ends together.  Depending on your needs, we'll create a custom plan for the greatest value.  If you want to attract investors or funders, we'll deliver a plan to help you sell the concept.  If you want to anticipate staffing and operational needs, we'll focus on projections.  If you want to sell your concept to stakeholders, we'll show them how your unique advantages fill open market spaces.   

Franchise Business Plans
The Franchise Business Plan is a business plan for emerging franchisors.  In addition to projecting operational, staffing and financial implications of various growth models, they'll help you make decisions needed to create the Franchise Disclosure Document and position your offering with respect to competing franchise companies.  Items include territory, target franchisee characteristics, earnings claims, franchisee pro formas and much more.  
   
Tactical Implementation Plans
Once you've prepared for your new venture, you need an Implementation Plan.  Using benchmarks of successful companies, we'll help you focus and assign your implementation budget.  Topics included are an explanation and analysis of media options and other lead generation activities available to you, marketing materials, how to leverage your uniquenesses to motivate prospects to buy, the sales process and more.
