States? Over 1 Million of these businesses have revenue of $1M per
year or more. Businesses with Enterprise Value between $2 and $150
million constitute about 650,000 of these. Only 6500 +/- are publicly
traded. Corporate owners hold about 20% of these businesses, while 50%
of all these businesses are owned principally by business owners 50
years old or older.

corporate business owners that are well prepared. Are you?

successor?

same corporate ownership?

has been thoroughly and effectively planned and that your needs and
interests as well as those of the company have been properly defined
and protected?

Many businesses are confronted with performance challenges. Challenges
can be created by leadership change, merger and acquisition
integration, volatile or changing market conditions, eroding industry
economics and other factors. All too often, existing personnel possess
the information and knowledge to address parts of these challenges,
but have neither the time nor the strategic framework within which to
develop and implement effective solutions that are aligned with the
companies strategy.
Our professional advisors work closely and collaboratively with
management to create and implement comprehensive strategic plans
for their businesses that clearly identify the vision, objectives,
goals and milestones, resources, and timetable for accomplishment for
the company using processes that build consensus and buy-in from the
management team responsible to make the plan a reality.
When specific underperformance issues are identified, we work with you
to understand the root causes for performance problems, create a
detailed improvement plan, look for alternative approaches and courses
of action and roll up our sleeves to help you execute the plan. To

strategic vision and achieve top performance, click here.
