Business Review Services
Effective business analysis with a focus on financial results
Entrepreneurs and small business owners can benefit from our comprehensive business review, which is designed to provide feedback and recommendations on the business model, market positioning, cash flow management and operating structure of your business.
The Giersch Group business review offers:
- Detailed financial analysis
- Management SWOT analysis
- Reflection on past, analysis of present and consideration of the future
- Strategic recommendations and next steps
Our business review is an effective diagnostic tool to determine the current health of your business and sets the context for any consulting services.
To assist with implementation we also offer monthly board service meetings, in which we walk alongside you as you implement the strategies and systems outlined in the business review.
How our business analysis services work
Our associates will meet with you at a scheduled time for two hours to collect the data. The business review is designed to give an efficient review of the current business operations. The underlying assumption of the business review is that business owners know their products and services well. Therefore, other key aspects and disciplines of business operations are reviewed to identify strengths, weaknesses, and threats to the business as it is currently operating.
The business review report produced following this meeting will include:
- Data analysis in the areas of company management, human resources, financials, strategy, financial systems and legal compliance
- SWOT analysis chart with narrative commentary on key areas
- Recommendation for service offering mix, pricing of services, market positioning, client acquisition and retention, operating structures and a strategic business plan
- Recommendations for addressing the findings
