Services and Solutions For Small and Mid-sized Companies 

 

Providing cost-effective solutions that have traditionally been available 
only to companies with deep pockets and a large staff.
 


When you need help with a specialized or short-term project, let us handle it so you can stay focused on running your business. 

Business Planning / Business Plans 

A business plan defines your strategic, tactical and financial plans, including the costs of doing business, and realistic cash flow.  It should be updated when any aspect of your business changes.  Why do you need a business plan?

Creating and maintaining a business plan takes time and effort.  I will  assist you in the development, review and updating of your business plan.  I can  manage the entire project or simply provide research, analysis, copywriting, editing, and/or  final review. 

Opportunity Assessment 
Every good idea does not require action. Is it really a good time to expand your business? Where can you cut costs and increase revenue? Which option will have the most positive impact on PROFIT? Is this new client or big project one you want to take on?  Do you have a proven method for making such decisions?  I do - I can help you determine if an opportunity is right for you. 

Presentations and Communications
I will prepare specialized presentations and communications for your customers, employees, suppliers, investors, or the public in any form you desire.  The important thing is that the end result is a clear and consistent message aimed at the specific audience, whether it is on your web site, letters, email, newsletters, press releases, white papers or other documents designed to promote your company's solutions or products. 

Process, Workflow, and Job Descriptions
This is now required for many industry certifications and for businesses that do government or healthcare work!  

  • Does every person involved in providing and supporting your products or services know how their work makes your entire operation flow smoothly and profitably?  
  • Do you have instructions for new employees or replacements? 
  • How will new products, services, and personnel affect the workflow? 

I have years of experience with process analysis, work flow, and quality assurance, as well as the development of management, technical, and front and back office job descriptions and checklists.  I will define the essential functions that make your business flow smoothly and meet your certification, audit, and customers' requirements.

Product and Service Development
If you are adding a new product or service, or expanding or updating your current product and service line, let me help make sure that everyone, from the suppliers to the people who answer the phones, are ready.  

I will prepare process documentation to facilitate standard, efficient and effective work, including flow charts, related controls, and key roles and responsibilities. I can also develop, update, or enhance user guides, making even highly technical information understandable to those using your systems or products.
