Welcome to SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS CONSULTING

Entrepreneurship Development

We believe in the potential and ambitions of young entrepreneurs across the globe.

As an entrepreneur, you are in a unique position — you not only own the business, but you are its strategist, visionary, cheerleader and fiduciary guardian. With such significant responsibilities, you face many tough issues.

Developing and sustaining a competitive business model, properly financing your business, maintaining successful relationships with personnel, navigating family disagreements, staying ahead of the competition and finally monetizing or passing along the business to the next generation are just a few of your challenges. You face different hurdles depending on the stage of your business and just as the pressure points are different at each stage, the type of support you need changes.

However, one thing is always constant; the need for a true partner and trusted advisor as an objective resource to be at your side along the way. We can help.

Are You A Startup?

As a startup, you have a vision about what you want to become. Your passion gives you the strength to tackle what others see as barriers and turn them into opportunities.

As you start your business, you need to make sure you have a sustainable model – the proper team and equity structure, appropriate funding and the proper tools in place to keep track of where you have been and where you are going while at the same time minimizing your tax burden.

That is a lot to handle and having the right professional advisors are critical to your success.

Are You a High Growth Company?

If you are a high growth company, congratulations! You are admired by the market. However, along with heightened demand for your products and services, comes an increased responsibility to execute and to keep all of your stakeholders happy.

As a high growth company, your financing sources move from Angels, VCs and family to banks and possibly Private Equity Groups (PEG’s), or even an Initial Public Offering (IPO). An entrepreneur needs to continue to focus on profitable sustainable operations as you grow and to keep in mind the various financing alternatives that may be available to you. Keeping your staff happy while complying with the environment of ever-changing rules is another challenge you face – our team is at the forefront of these changes and regulations with tools and techniques, including solid expertise

Are You An Established Company?

As your company matures and achieves new milestones, your focus begins to shift to what’s beyond the high point of your successful business – what will your next move be? The evolution of ownership is not an if, but a when question. Do you want to keep the legacy alive and pass the business to the next generation of management? Can you afford to retire and are you really ready to “step back?” Is it time to “take some chips off the table” or perhaps sell outright? These are difficult questions and the answers are fraught with emotion as one reaches the twilight of their career. The good news is we have dealt with these scenarios many times and have the processes and resources to help. Let’s explore a little further.
