An entire industry has developed around these words. Large groups of well-qualified, extremely capable professionals have formed to service large clients who need these services. But who services the small- and mid-sized client?
Your lawyer probably doesn't have financial experience. Your accountant probably doesn't have legal experience. And it's likely that neither one has the extensive business experience necessary to address the critical commercial issues involved. Atlantic Ridge professionals have the ability and the experience to attack all aspects of your situation.
We can analyze your situation and provide an honest assessment of your position. Do you need to increase revenue? Do you need to cut costs? Where do you start? How do you best focus your limited resources on the right customers and the right cost-cutting activities? We can show you which of your products and services are profitable - and why they're profitable. We can then help you to design the best strategy to improve your position.
You'll need time to implement your plans, and we can help you find that time. We can negotiate with your banks and other creditors to create workout plans and properly manage your liabilities. We can teach you how to best manage your receivables and inventory - so they're contributing to the solution, not contributing to the problem. We can manage your legal team to be sure they are working for you (not the other way around, as it sometimes seems).
We'll help you set new, realistic goals and chart a course that will guide you there.
Still, a truism applies here. A small problem is easier to solve than a large problem. And small problems tend to become large problems if they're not faced quickly and decisively. Don't wait until it's too late. You may have more to lose than time.
