A strategic plan is the first step towards moving a business away from being dependent on the owner(s) and towards a fully systematized and profitable operation.

 

Our aim is to help you create a picture of what your business will be like when it is fully “complete”.

We spend some time with you (typically one day) and listen. We facilitate a discussion of:

 

• The personal objectives of the business owner(s);

• The strategic plan of the business;

• A five-year summary of financials;

• Value pricing opportunities;

• Unique selling points of the business; and

• Exit routes and business value. 

 

The benefits of this discussion are:

• Consensus on key issues and strategies to address them,

• Commitment to, and capacity for, implementing the strategies,

• Clearer communication of priorities,

• Improved cooperation among those pursuing strategic objectives, and

• More effective management control of strategic initiatives.

Cash flow planning and forecasting is key to lowering financial stress. Here are some of the benefits of forward planning:

 

• Provides detailed projection on where the money is coming from, useful if you have more than one source of income

• Provides details of where the money goes

• Provides a simple way to compare your real cash flow with your forecast

• Removes the element of uncertainty and guesswork. Using the cash flow, you can see the effect of a decision on expenditure before you commit

• Demonstrates the peaks and troughs of your cash flow during a financial year

• Highlights potential funding gaps/problem areas in expenditure and can help prioritize and plan the timing of larger purchases

• Know where you really are against turnover and profit targets

• Allows quicker decision making in turbulent times
