Strategic Consulting

We partner with small businesses and cooperatives to help you develop and implement strategies for sustainable growth and retention. Running a business requires wearing many hats, and it can be difficult to find the time and resources to step back and focus on strategic planning, financial analysis, and long-term growth while managing day-to-day operations. Our Strategic Consulting provides the dedicated support and expertise you need to work on your business strategy while you run your business.

We work closely with you to review how your business is performing, develop strategic plans for where you want to go, analyze different paths forward, and create realistic financial projections. Whether you are planning to grow your business, facing displacement or relocation, or navigating changing market conditions, we provide consulting that addresses your unique needs and challenges.

Our Strategic Consulting provides comprehensive support through all aspects of strategic business development:

When you enroll in our Strategic Consulting program, we match you with a dedicated business consulting team based on your business stage, industry, and complexity of needs. Together, we co-create a consulting plan that meets your specific business goals and timeline.

We meet weekly to work through your consulting plan. Between sessions, our consultants take a hands-on approach by analyzing your business data, developing strategic plans, creating financial models and forecasts, preparing scenario analyses, and documenting recommendations for review and revision. This collaborative process allows you to focus on running your business while receiving expert support.

Our typical engagements are 6-12 months for focused strategic planning projects, or ongoing month-to-month relationships for businesses seeking continuous strategic support.

Our Strategic Consulting is designed for small businesses and cooperatives that:

• Are committed to making a positive impact in your community
• Have established business operations and are making at least $50,000 in annual sales
• Need strategic guidance for growth and/or retention planning
• Are willing to commit time and effort to develop and implement strategic plans

The costs of our Strategic Consulting depend on the size of your business and the complexity of the engagement. Depending on your location, we may have partnerships that offset your costs. Contact us to inquire about pricing for your specific needs.
