Strategic Planning and Business Plans

The Corporate Finance Group's planning capabilities take three different forms:

Strategic Planning — When long-range, in-depth planning is called for, we structure the process, serve as integrator, provide a fresh outside perspective, help resolve inconsistencies, and document the findings and long-term goals.

Business Plans/Operational Plans — We guide management through setting concrete operational objectives and specific initiatives, building detailed projections, and putting it all together in a plan that will act as a road map to help guide the client to success.

Early-stage Turnaround Assistance — We help management identify root causes of poor or erratic performance before the consequences become too severe, help develop a specific plan of attack for each major issue, and encourage management energies to be focused on issues that will count most.

Mergers and Acquisitions

In the mergers and acquisitions area, we are not just transaction oriented. Our corporate finance team is especially suited to represent companies in both “sell-side” and “buy-side” acquisitions.

We encourage prospective buyers to have a sound strategic basis for an acquisition, and to pre-think how it will fit. We bring strategic skills that we believe are as important as transactional skills.

In contrast to investment bankers and business brokers, we are compensated on an hourly-fee basis only for what the client needs. We feel we can provide the most candid unbiased advice when we are not motivated to push a certain deal simply to earn a commission.
