Business Development & Strategic Planning Solutions

(Recent Client Assignments)

1. Business Development Strategy

Whether you are starting a new business, acquiring an existing business, or want to grow your current business, sometimes it is useful to enlist some outside, independent perspective and skills. Particularly for smaller businesses where the owners handle many diverse functions inside an organization - sometimes functions that are not their strengths - it can be beneficial to bring in additional help.

We help with tackling business development issues, strategic planning, product development, pricing strategies and strategic marketing strategies.

Our services can be remarkably cost effective, too. If you were to hire an experienced executive for strategic planning and business development activities, how much would that cost? The benefits often far out-weigh the short term costs.

2. Strategic Business Planning

Every business should have a clear, current business strategy that lays out the vision of the business along with detailed goals and marketing strategy along with sales and operating projections and budgets.

Using a proven process, we help business owners create visionary, operational business plans, with detailed financial projection models reflecting a well-thought out, strategic roadmap.

3. Interim & Part-Time Chief Operating Officer Services

Time and money are perishable resources. Business owners should focus their time, energy and resources on what they know best and build their team to handle other mission critical areas of the business.

Endorphin Advisors acts as an Interim COO or Business Manager to handle many of the strategic and day-to-day aspects of running a business, while the business owner can focus on their core expertise and driving new sales. Read more about our Interim & Part-Time COO Services.

4. Start-up Businesses

Starting a business is a dream of many entrepreneurs. While it is a well-known fact that 4 out of 5 new businesses fail within the first two years, it does not have to happen this way.

With the right preparation, sound planning and strong, experienced advisors, entrepreneurs can start and build successful small businesses which meet a defined demand in the marketplace, with appealling services and a sound pricing strategy.

5. Securing Financing, Bank Loans, Credit Facilities, Outside Investment

We have successfully helped clients create realistic strategic business plans which have been used to secure new bank loans, land vendor financing and win invesment from outside investors. If you are planning to seek additional financing, loans, credit or investment, or have unsuccessfully tried in the past, perhaps we can help you get the financing you need to realize your goals and dreams.

6. Financial Projections, Revenue Models & Profitability Studies

Most businesses that do not proactively, closely manage financial, budget and revenue projections are unsuccessful. In fact, data shows that poor financial management and records is the number one reason that businesses put up for sale, fail to sell.

The critical function of financial forecasting helps keep businesses on track, helps managers hit revenue targets, and is essential for planning necessary investments to grow a business.

7. Exit Strategy & Business Succession/Contingency Planning

Effective exit planning, long before putting a business up for sale, can have an enormous impact on the ultimate value of a business during the sale or ownership transition process. We help owners of privately-held businesses effectively prepare for this event, as well as develop effective contingency plans to keep businesses running in the event of an emergency.
