FINANCIAL PROJECTION & ANALYSIS
Financial Projection & Analysis: We translate your business plan into precise financial projections, alleviating the challenges entrepreneurs often face in this area.
MARKET / COMPETITOR RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
A healthy business plan requires going beyond intuition and experience and supporting your idea with fact-based market research. Investors need to have confidence in your understanding of the market, so don’t let yourself down by skimping on research. We conduct thorough, fact-based market and competitor research to strengthen your business plan and instill investor confidence.
STRATEGIC & TACTICAL PLANNING
The strategic planning process is a vital executive function. The most enduring companies do their planning using a 3-5 year, a one year, and a 90-day time horizon. Energy is put into developing key objectives every quarter, and achievements are managed weekly. A well written strategic plan is the one document that can be used to achieve success
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Today’s business environment is increasingly international, and both startups and existing businesses ignore that fact at their peril. The Lahdo & Partners of experienced business professionals can help you navigate the complexities of doing business internationally. Whatever opportunities you are chasing, or problems you are facing, the chances are we’ve been there before.
SUCCESSION & EXIT PLANNING FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
At some point, every business owner will leave their business. For most business owners, this is a once in a lifetime event. It’s of critical importance because the average business owner has 50-90% of their net worth tied up in their business. Most businesses are not able to be sold at face value for what the business owner expects. Preparing your business for a sale can be a hectic affair, especially if the process has been triggered by an unplanned event and constrained by time. This typically leads to many unpleasant tradeoffs and a result that falls far short of the owner’s objectives. An alternative is a systematic approach initiated 3-10 years in advance and driven entirely by your exit objectives. This is the approach we can help you with.
BUSINESS TURNAROUND CONSULTING
If you’re like most business owners, you’ve sacrificed a lot for your company: worked long hours, juggled payroll and vendors, and missed family events. Until recently, the business did okay and provided you a nice income. Today, things have changed. The past few years have been tumultuous for the business and financial markets. The “Great Recession” brought with it considerable contraction and upheaval for many companies. An improving economy has also delivered some challenges, as efforts to shed excess capacity and deliver have left many business owners unable to meet rising demand. You certainly didn’t plan for this to happen, but your business is struggling - and the pressure is mounting.
