Strategic Business PLAN

Ideal for:

Entrepreneurs who have aggressive revenue goals and are focused on exceeding them. This is the perfect solution for you if you are unsure about how to market, position, and price your products and services to ensure maximum profitability in your marketplace, or if your staff does not understand the big picture, how their responsibilities contribute to success of the organization.

Company Size:
Gross Revenue between $1M and $20M, 5 to 30 employees.

Phase I: Business Analysis – Current State:
We analyze your Year-to-date financial statements and document the existing policies, procedures, issues, and pain points that need to be addressed/resolved in your customized Strategic Plan (Phase II).

Financial Statements:

• Profit and Loss (YTD): Income sources, Product and Service offerings, Markup, Profit Margins, Cost of Goods, Overhead expenses, Payroll/1099 contractors, monthly and yearly trends, and your business cycle (seasonal, annual)
• Balance Sheet: Cash on Hand, Accounts Receivable, Inventory on Hand, Capital Expenditures, Accounts Payable, Credit Card balances, Loan/Line of Credit balances, and Owner Draw/Distributions
• Statement of Cash Flows: Month-to-month trends, Seasonal cycles, Payment Terms, (accounts receivable and payable), Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)

Processes and Procedures:

Does a Process and Procedure Manual for your business exist? If so, when was the last time it was updated? Do all employees have access to a copy of the manual? If Processes and Procedures are not defined or the manual is out of date, we suggest the following:

• Interview Business Owner(s) to identify overall company goals and key pain points (Revenue, Profit, New Product Lines, Process, Operational Efficiency, Inventory Turnover, Cash Flow, Staffing, Capital Expenditures, New Locations, etc.)
• Owner(s) selects 5 key pain points to discuss with the staff in their interviews
• Interview key staff to determine their role, responsibilities, and key pain points (as they see them)
• Graphically depict the current operational procedures in process flow diagrams, highlighting current pain points, and opportunities for revenue growth and operational efficiency.

Phase II: Strategic Plan – Future State:
Now we can get creative and have lots of fun brainstorming! Now the findings from the business analysis phase are consolidated into your 3-Year Plan, customized specifically to your revenue and net profit requirements:

• Owner(s) to confirm the key pain points that need to be resolved in the Strategic Plan
• Review of Business Analysis – determine how to resolve key pain points, in priority order
• Define Year 1, 2, and 3 goals for the following categories: financial, product/service offerings, staff
• Process improvement and efficiency – how best to improve on current practices to ensure the plan becomes a reality
• Graphically depict the desired Future State process flow diagrams that addresses the key pain points and KPI’s
• Consolidate goals into a customized Strategic Plan, complete with priorities and a step-by-step implementation plan
