A quick ‘health-check’ of a business’ status at a point in time where CMG Consulta review the key aspects of the business structure, setup, operation, and business model. The Business Status Assessment delivers a short and focused report of actions that the business should take in the short and medium term to reduce some costs, increase revenue, become more efficient or start preparing for achieving some long-term goals.

CMG Consulta assist businesses to define themselves, understand what sets them apart from others, define what they should aspire to achieve and how they can organise and grow to get there. Strategic Growth Assistance gives businesses the tools to monitor and update the strategy over time. It also includes looking into preparing the company for investment and seeking external investors, should the need arise.

CMG Consulta supports entrepreneurs in the process of taking an idea or concept, shaping it into a business, investigating its feasibility and even guiding on funding options. Setting up a business can be a challenging and daunting prospect. There are many different aspects that need to be considered, many risks to watch out for and a lot of uncertainty to navigate. Having said this, the voyage does not need to be intimidating and, with the correct guidance, analysis, and planning, it can be made less risky and more rewarding.

CMG Consulta help family business and SME owners to create a plan to structure the business in a shape that is not completely dependent on the owner. We help to create a clear space for owner’s children or other successors who want to work in the business as well as those who might simply inherit a portion of it. CMG Consulta works on the business to ensure that, once any shares are transferred, the business structure and the owners’ competence and preparedness to lead are all in place increasing the chances of a successful operation post succession.

When business owners decide to exit the business and sell out, CMG Consulta help owners prepare the business for sale and even seek the purchasers. Selling a business is not as simple as placing a classified advert since there needs to be a process of defining what is for sale, what the required investor profile is and what the real value is to that investor profile. This definition and targeting the right investor are key to maintaining a fair price for the business and for ensuring that the business will have the smoothest of transitions with the introduction of the new investors.
