BUSINESS ADVICE
Strategic advice for a successful future
As your business grows and changes, it’s important to take a strategic approach to planning to ensure a long and successful future. At Carter Connell, we understand the complexities of operating a business through times of change such as rapid growth and unexpected loss of revenue.
With the right strategic advice that is tailored to your goals, you can get your business to where you want it to be, with all the right foundations in place for a long and successful future. The team at Carter Connell take a whole of business approach that incorporates structure, systems, budgeting, financing and more, so you can regain valuable time and resources to focus on the big picture.
We provide strategic business advice in the following areas:
Business sales and acquisitions
It is a significant decision to acquire or divest a business; obtaining specialist advice is critical to maximise value and ensure a smooth execution of the transaction. We offer complete support throughout the process, including an accurate valuation of the business to ensure all parties are on the same page from the outset.
Structuring advice
Having the right structure is vital to building a strong foundation for your business. Your structure should protect your assets, minimise your compliance costs, comply with legal and taxation requirements, streamline succession planning and maximise your wealth. Our priority is to understand your objectives in order to implement the optimal structure for your situation.
Business valuations
A business valuation is required in multiple situations – for a change in ownership, raising investment capital, obtaining finance, or in a matrimonial or shareholder dispute. However, a business valuation can be an invaluable tool at any time to check the pulse of your business and drive strategy to maximise value.
Rapid growth advice
Experiencing rapid business growth is the goal of most business owners. However, in times of rapid expansion it is important to consider modifying strategy to address scalability issues before they arise. This might include re-evaluating the suitability of the existing structure, considering whether there is sufficient working capital to allow for the growth, review of funding requirements to achieve growth goals, or obtaining increased reporting to ensure you stay on top of your financials as your business changes.
Simplified performance reporting
Getting a clear picture of overall performance can be difficult when a business is made up of multiple entities. It is imperative to understand the key business drivers of a group on a consolidated basis to assist in decision-making and performance monitoring.
Business recovery and rebuilding
It is important to recognise the common early signs of business stress such as falling behind on tax or superannuation payment obligations, difficulty complying with banking covenants, or having an excess of aged creditors. Identifying these signs and obtaining timely specialist advice will give you the most options to work with to ensure the future viability and success of your business.
