Our plan of attack may include funding options such as traditional (banks, loans, investors), as well as alternative funding, subsidies, rounded out with any grants that the company, or owner, may qualify for. We prefer to seek out grant funding as a first option to allow companies to grow without taking on heavy debt loads or giving away their companies with equity-based investments. “Our strategy is to invest in the growth of the company by putting our time and expertise up front to secure the money needed, which, in conjunction with offering a full-spectrum set of expert services in one location, sets us apart from other companies that may offer similar amenities. Once we have put a funding strategy in place, we will work with owners and teams to re-engineer their processes, systems, teams and leadership in support of forward progress for the business.

These education and leadership programs are often supported by Job Training Grants (EG: Canada AB Job Training Grant) or Leadership Training Grants, where available, making training affordable with governments funding a large percentage of the training program. “Overall, designing and implementing controlled, strategic growth steps is the core of any business plan, therefore we focus on taking bite-sized pieces and creating next steps to implement manageable, but highly impactful change that will lead to success in all areas of the business, including operations, marketing, finance, management, sales, and so on.
