Seek strategic change for growth

“I’m feeling stuck and stressed about how to grow my company.”

Top-line growth, improved cash flow and greater operating efficiencies are common objectives of business owners seeking to move forward. What’s your next growth milestone to enhance your business value?

Common opportunities that you may consider: increase revenue in challenging markets; improve margins and bottom-line profits; find a new bank or lender that can meet your working capital needs; structure an acquisition or sale transaction to maximize leverage; resolve internal conflicts that may be hindering your progress; identify the next-generation leader; and, guide a business recovery from a setback.

As business mentors, we have helped companies like yours to take advantage of these types of opportunities and others. We have more than three decades of experience and success in different businesses and industries.

Business Strategy Examples

• A successful manufacturer was considering a potential acquisition that, on paper, looked like a strategic fit with significant business value. Platinum Group was invited to assess the situation on a expedited timetable. We made the case for a “no go” decision because the company’s performance wasn’t projected sufficient to justify the new investment.

• A business was operating at near break even with available financial resources but desperately needed top-line growth. We guided the owners into focusing sales on high payback areas and expanding the company’s presence in its core business. Four months into the new sales strategy, the company’s name recognition was rising — with top-line revenues to grow by 30 percent in the following year.

• A growing company’s success attracted cutthroat, competitive cost pressure. Rather than taking the lowest-cost provider position in the market, senior management needed a new plan. Platinum Group’s strategic planning process led to market expansion — and two years later, the company almost doubled.
