At Beacon Consulting Associates, we assist bankers, investors and business owners to answer the question; “Is this business worth additional effort and investment?” or, put another way; “Is this business viable?” A Business Viability Review is a quick but thorough analysis that can often be completed within a one to two week period. During that time, we analyze cash flow, variable and overhead cost structures, and look for areas of profitability. We analyze receivables and expenditures for the short term (usually 90 to 180 days) to determine the degree of solvency. We review financial records over a several year period to plot trends, pinpoint turning points, and identify the source(s) of current financial difficulties. Our Business Viability Review focuses not only on cash flow, solvency, and cash position, but further analyzes the goods and services the business produces or performs, its position in the marketplace, its competition, and its pricing structure. In those cases where the business is involved in highly specialized products or services, we may bring in outside professional experts to participate in the analysis. As
a result of our Business Viability Review, we will suggest alternative
courses of action with estimates of time frames, required investment
and potential financial returns. A
Business Viability Review is a required “first step” in
every troubled business situation faced by Beacon Consulting Associates. Beacon Consulting Associates offers top professional skills and thorough analysis. We respond not only to parameters set by our client, but may also suggest additional areas of concern and identify other opportunities. A
