Putting your business on the road to Increased Value

   The Esus Group Management Consulting Division -

      • An experienced management advisory team,

      • Working with owners of small to mid-sized, privately held businesses.

Specializing in developing a business infrastructure that will "free up" business owners so they become the leaders that their businesses so dearly need and not the "doers" that most small business owners become and remain.

It may sound trite, but we really do help owners take their businesses to the "Next Level" while increasing the value of their business and investment.

Our primary objective is to help business owners put their businesses in a position to, not only reach their goals and objectives, but to exceed them.

The 3 main components of Esus Management Consulting Services

For an established business, it all starts with a Business Valuation. Knowing the "real" value of your business is the foundation to all that follows.

  • But, how important is a Business Valuation?

  • And, when should a business owner have one done?

These are questions we hear all the time from business owners.  The best answers we can give are:

  • Business valuations are invaluable for running your day-to-day operations; and,

  • They should be conducted by an Accredited Business Valuator (ABV) -- updated every three years, at a minimum.

Every business owner should know the "real" value of their business and understand the factors the drive that value. Knowing this will pay immediate and tangible dividends in increasing short and long-term profitability. If you know the factors driving the business, positively or negatively, then you'll know where to focus your efforts.

When we work with setting the course for improvement and for the future, the business valuation helps target those factors that drive value.

Business Transitioning is the process of:

  • Taking the business from where it is to where the owner wants it to be in revenue, in profit, in operations and in future value.

What we normally find is:

  • Few  businesses are structured to grow beyond a certain point. Most businesses that we encounter reach a plateau in sales, which leads to a shrinkage in profitability.

  • Business owners usually have an idea of what they should be doing to fix this problem but few are experienced in knowing how to identify and implement the necessary changes.

  • Business owners tell us how overwhelming and daunting the task seems and, therefore, rarely set off on the journey to fix it, or if they do try, it is rarely successful.We have a time-tested process that takes a logical approach to the transition from what the business is to what it needs to be to remain successful going forward. Flexibility is built in to take into account the fact that the business owner and his/her team also need to continue to focus on the day-to-day business while determining and implementing the necessary changes.

Points to consider:

  • Most privately held businesses are sold, at some point - to a family member, to employees (e.g. ESOP) or to a third party.

  • There should always be, but there rarely is, an exit strategy in place to address this.

  • A well-planned exit strategy can help ensure that the seller of the business (owner, family and/or estate) receives the greatest value regardless of whether a business owner is planning to sell his/her business today.

  • This requires taking steps long before the event occurs, minimizing the confusion and problems associated with an unexpected transfer, and minimizing the tax implications in all cases.

Transferring a privately held business is usually a one-time event. Few people have experience of selling and buying multiple businesses so few are experienced the process. Where does a business owner turn, then, when it comes time to consider selling or developing an exit strategy? Some will turn to their CPA or Attorney or other trusted business adviser, but in all honesty, most of these advisers have little to no experience in packaging a business for sale or in delivering qualified buyers.

This is where Esus Management Consulting comes in. We have the experience in packaging and marketing business for sale, and in finding qualified buyers who are likely to pay top dollar for a well-managed and structured business.
