Corporate Diagnostic Evaluation
Mapping a course for success: your corporate destiny. Knowing who and where you are is essential to knowing where you want to go and what you want to become, as a company.
Working with you and your management team, we’ll ask (and help you answer) such questions as: how does your product or service stack up against the competition? What is your competitive strength and weakness? What are current industry trends? Where is the market headed? What new products or services do you have under development? What is the timeframe for introduction of new products? What patent or copyright protection do you have?
Marketing: Penetration analysis —- what is your current market share? Analysis of sales history to spot short and long term patterns. Analysis and evaluation of your current marketing methodology. How do you generate new business and what is the cost per order? Detailed attention to sales force performance and return on any and all advertising (T.V., radio, print, direct mail, internet, etc). How do you retain or renew existing business?
Management: What is the structure of your current management team now? Is it a balanced team with expertise in all critical areas-e.g. finance, marketing, etc. How do you measure success within each department? What is your reporting structure? How is management held accountable? Review hiring and staffing procedures.
Finance: What is the status of your current balance sheet? Do you need expansion capital? Do you need to refinance or re-structure debt? Do you need an additional round of funding-what is the right vehicle for you-debt instrument, equity offering, etc. We development private placement offerings (deal sheets). SBW Ventures, Inc. has a network of private angel investors as well as strong ties with leading merchant banks and VC funds. We can advise you and help make introductions for you to raise capital from venture capital firms, or accredited private investors.

Merger and Acquisitions: Buy-Side and Sell-Side Assignments:
I’ll work with you in strict confidence to approach and engage possible acquisition targets. I assist with due diligence, valuations, provide alternative strategies for either a stock or asset purchase. I help negotiate and close deals and help source funding and investment partners if needed.
Sell Your Company:
I’ll help you think through and create different scenarios for you to sell your business including an outright acquisition or a structured buy-out over time. I’ll personally market your company and screen prospective buyers to find the perfect match. Or . . .if you are not quite ready to sell, we can work together to grow and increase the value of your company–by internal growth and perhaps also through some target acquisitions. I’m looking for a company where I can contribute my strategic sales, marketing, merger and acquisition and capital fundraising expertise. Again my overall mission is to help you identify and execute opportunities for significant growth leading to an exit strategy which we would formulate together.
Strategic Business Planning (Business Plans and CIMs):
I’ll write, edit or expand your business plan as a road map to get to where you want to go. I work with your CPA or financial advisor to provide financial modeling and forecasting in addition to writing the narrative portion of the plan. If you are selling your business I’ll work to develop a CIM (Confidential Information Memorandum) to hand to potential buyers, investment firms and individuals.
Investment Banking:
I have a national network of private and institutional investors. I’ll help you find the best investment partners and I’ll make introductions for you to raise capital from venture capital firms, or accredited private investors.

Key Account Sales; Corporate Lead Generation and Strategic Marketing:
I make Board level connections and introductions and help facilitate and close key account sales and deals.

When you look at your new business acquisition, 90% or more of your inquiries are coming from web search. Potential customers are searching for solutions, so your website needs to be up to the task to both deliver answers to their queries and provide an opportunity for them to take action. Driving in traffic can be accomplished through optimizing your website structure and content. If you are using paid search to drive targeted traffic, you need to be sure your investment is at peak performance and delivering ROI. Let me review your digital marketing strategies and make recommendations to increase your web presence and allow you to get your share of the traffic that is already seeking your products/services. You need to be able to provide your solutions to this target audience effectively and efficiently.
