Business Consulting

Growing, or failing. No business stands still for long; making sure it’s pointed in the right direction is management’s most pressing task.

The professionals of EFP Rotenberg bring a wealth of professional and practical experience to the task of helping you find the right mix of strategies for growing your business. We take advantage of the lessons we’ve learned over thousands of client engagements. Here are some of the ways we can help:

Start-up mode

Improve your odds for success with some professional advice.

Our CPAs and business consultants have helped hundreds of people launch a new business. We pull together the team of professionals from within EFP Rotenberg who are best suited to you and your enterprise, and also recommend attorneys, bankers and industry experts. We’ll work with you to:

• refine your business plan, providing benchmark information and best practices
• decide on your structure—should you be a C Corporation, an S Corporation, a Limited Liability Company?
• identify the best business model, including staffing and pricing, for short-term profitability and long-term growth
• determine the best way to capitalize your venture—should you look for private financing, bank financing, venture capital, angel investors?
• set up your accounting and bookkeeping systems, and train your people on QuickBooks financial software

“Our mission is to help you make the most of the resources—time, people, money, energy—that you have. We help you figure out which ideas are worth pursuing and which risks are better left behind. We’re always calculating your return on investment.”

—Robert N. Porretti, Chairman and Founding Partner, EFP Rotenberg

Time to grow

Selling, buying, or merging with another business, bringing in a new partner, starting a new product line, breaking into a new market—growth is marked by constant change.

Opportunities are fleeting; there’s no time to stand still.

We can help you navigate these important points:

• We can analyze your current operations to determine where profitability is being eroded, or could be improved.
• Our valuation experts can give you a detailed and accurate analysis of the worth of your current business, and/or one that you’re thinking of acquiring or merging with.
• We can coordinate an entire merger and acquisition process, including helping you to find prospective buyers or sellers.
• We can perform feasibility studies and due diligence analyses to ascertain the risks and rewards of a business transaction, new product offering, or other initiative.
• We can assist with financing, negotiations, and business process integration.
