Whether you want to launch a new company, explore the viability of a new product or service, find your audience, or discuss some ideas, I can help.
I offer the following specific services in the area of business planning for entrepreneurs, partnerships, or large and small businesses:
* Business Plan Brainstorming
If you'd like to write your business plan yourself, I can help you get started. I'll take you through the steps of writing a plan, and together, we can brainstorm on how to make your plan sing!
* Business Plan Consulting and Marketing
This is a great option if you'd like to outsource the writing of your business plan. Sometimes, we are too busy with our normal lives to get our plan off the ground, so we turn to others to help us. I have written a number of business plans in media, marketing, food services, and health care. I can provide you with a complete set of financial projections and a marketing and launch plan. Plus, you'll enjoy the process along the way, while rest assured that your plan's confidentiality is safe with me.
* Financial Modeling
Have a plan and simply need help having it all rolled out in a set of financial statements? With a background in investment banking and operational expertise with various start-ups, I can help you develop an integrated cash flow model with multiple years of projections. I can also help you with your own model and help you "smell test" it for any things that might seem a bit fishy.
* Scenario Planning
Any good planner thinks about alternative scenarios that could arise and derail or catapult their business. I have spent my MBA and subsequent years, studying various ways to interpret possible scenarios and their impact on our financial plans, operations, or marketing.
* Mediation Between Partners
Nothing can stop a great business from getting off the ground, like a fight between partners. As a consultant, I have often come across relationships that have fallen apart due to miscommunication, built-up resentments or simple misunderstandings. I love to listen and help people work with each other. With one-on-one or in groups, we can overcome the challenges that develop between business partners to ensure that a great working relationship is restored and productivity returns.
