BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT A. Page & Associates provides assistance for business development. Essential to business development is the direction set by the fiduciary team of corporate executives, owners and/or owner representative. Growth must be compatible with corporate capabilities and the level of risk the organization is willing to assume. The fiduciary team sets the standard against which the organization may then respond to development. For corporations, long-term business development is an area where the board may add significant value to owner returns. Boards often develop business development plans that reach out ten, twenty, or thirty years. The executives of the business are responsible for short term planning that focuses on immediate profitability. The board, on the other hand, must provide oversight to guide the firm from short-term profitability to achieving long-term goals. A. Page & Associates provides the following business development services: • Development/enhancement of a strategy to grow an existing business or business unit. • Development/enhancement of a marketing strategy to organically grow an existing business unit or part of a business unit. • Identification of a compatible business or business unit that when acquired would be accretive to an existing business or business unit. • Investigation of a business to be added using appropriate information (due diligence). • Identification of cultural issues involved in acquisitions from the perspective of the board, executive management, and the organization. • Development of integration plans to meet forecasted projections. • Implementation assistance of integration plans for acquired businesses.
