Where can I find help with problem solving and prevention?
Arlington Scott, Inc. consultants are available "on demand" to
help with problem solving at any time.
More importantly, we can be of more value to you when allowed to assist in
problem prevention.
Survival instincts must be developed to reduce unwanted surprises
through better record systems and the reduction of unnecessary expenses. Potential
profit drains and the cash flow strains of cyclical income can be addressed
before they occur. If necessary, crises management might include unpopular cost
cutting, elimination of non-profitable products and services and a determined
effort at timely collection of accounts receivable. Arlington Scott and
ABC
consultants can be your "third-party" life savers!
Realistic planning must be reviewed on a regular basis
and should be compared to normal industry standards. We can help you balance all
budgets which should be one of your first commitments. This means spend less
than you make from day one. Proper steps can be taken to maximize your assets
and personnel resources which may lead you to consider outsourcing in some
areas. Inventory management, cash flow management and other cost cutting designs
should be part of your game plan.
Aggressive strategies are available to assist in
improving services, products, public image, customer relations, and employee
relations. All of these improve bottom line profits and ultimate value. Problems
avoided are much less expensive than problems solved. Let us help you today!
Appraisals. . .
We offer the BEST Independent Third-Party Appraisal service in America.
Who needs an appraisal? Virtually anyone who owns a business and not just
in the United States – Anywhere!
Start-up Plans. . .
What if I want to start my own business?
It is estimated that over 20% of the individuals who become
small business owners actually start their own business from scratch. Many
of the Entering clients (buyers) we work with cannot find that "dream" business
they always wanted. Sometimes it is just not out on the market. Why not build
it then? Individuals come up with brilliant ideas every day; take your great
idea and make a business out of it!
Arlington Scott can assist with the development of a business
plan to be presented to potential investors and lenders. We can assist in
acquiring the financing for your start up plan. Once financing is in place we
can monitor the implementation of the business plan and the budgets contained
therein.
Once you are fully integrated into your business, we can
periodically gauge the businesses progress against industry averages, alerting
you to not only weaknesses, but also highlighting aspects of the business which
are out-performing the industry. This could lead to you to the more profitable
niche markets that are present in every industry.
Keep us in mind during your next "Dream"!
Exit Plans. . .
You built a strong business with significant value because you
monitored every detail of its growth! You will now reap greater rewards because
ABC and Arlington Scott will keep you informed in the process of your exit
strategy through monthly reports of progress and gives you the option of
approving each step and expenditure. Surely you would never think of turning
your most important asset over to someone without the opportunity of monitoring
their progress.
The most exciting part of our Target Marketing Plan is that it
is really a plan! We know the plan best because our founder, Mr. Bumstead,
wrote the book...52 Steps To Finding Buyers and Sellers of Businesses...one of
the most popular texts used by the largest professional associations in the
industry.
Financing. . .
Where can you find financial assistance?
Arlington Scott, Inc. through it's industry associations and
many years of networking has developed several strong relationships with both
financial institutions and private investment groups.
Traditional lenders including banks, mortgage companies,
savings and loans, and the like offer a wide variety of loans for businesses.
Types of loans offered include everything from asset-based revolving lines of
credit to short term loans and construction loans.
More and more private investment groups are seeking investment
opportunities off of Wall Street. We keep in touch with several of these
groups and know how they operate.
Regardless of the loan type and structure, Arlington Scott, inc.
will assist in the design and write of the business plan to be presented to the
lending institution. Our experience in knowing what the lenders expect to see
will take much of the stress out of the process.
We know the questions the lenders will ask so let us help you
answer the questions. We are the people you call before you call the bank!
