A group of you have decided to pool your financial and experience resources to start a new business or buy an existing one and improve it. You also need investors to come up with the capital.

Yes, this is an enjoyable and exciting time. However, as you know, it can also be stressful with many disappointments along the way. Being so close to and emotionally involved in the new project, it is sometimes difficult for members of a new management team to deal with some of the difficulties.

Indeed, the promise of many a wealthy future is destroyed before getting off the ground. Sometimes, personality can distract and the journey to finding the new business and investors takes longer than it should and/or results in bad feelings that last a long time.

Also, being so eager for the capital, it is very tempting to accept the first investor who comes along with the cash. This can be a mistake because what you need just as much as the cash is an investor with contacts, willingness to support and wisdom gained from experience.

An independent, skilled Strategy Improvers facilitator can assist in making the journey to finding your new business and the investors, quicker and less painful. We will work with you to:

• Create a clear picture about what you want, why you want it and how to get there.
• Question the business plan in more detail and offering insights and suggestions for new/better ways of achieving the objectives.
• Identify possible problems that have been overlooked – and devise solutions.
• Mentor the team – helping to focus while looking for that new venture and investors.
• Give an objective, honest view if personality issues arise that hinder progress.
• Evaluating potential investors for their ability and willingness to help the business.
• Get the new business off to a good start during that vital first three months.

During 12 years of assisting businesses, we have worked with many management teams and helped them overcome some major performance problems. We’ll put this experience to work for your success in the new venture. In addition, engaging a skilled facilitator early on shows a level of wisdom and seriousness that potential investors will respect and be more inclined to back.
