SMALL BUSINESS ADVISER SERVICES

Before Your U.S. Business is Purchased

Preparing clients to purchase or build a U.S. Business

___________________

A valuable service for clients who seek direction in finding a US business to consider for purchase or when starting up a new US business from scratch. We serve our clients who are otherwise unfamiliar with the US business market as their confidential teacher, manager, mentor, strategist, consultant, advocate and "go-to person" . . . as their personal Small Business Adviser.

We are not a "Business Broker" and are not involved in business transactions. Instead, we guide clients so they are wisely and shrewdly prepared in advance of a business purchase, ensuring that their personal goals, plus their business goals, are aligned and well defined. After all, the goal is simply to have:

Clients acquire a successful and healthy US business opportunity.
Clients run a business, rather than acquire a business that runs the client's life.

A client from the UK best summed up the value of a Business Adviser:

"Your friends and family, the Web, periodicals, and even casual acquaintances can provide you with a steady daily flow of information regarding news, industry developments, and opportunities. Industry analysts, consultants, employees, and good networking contacts can share their expert knowledge with you regarding particular situations and needs you may encounter. But only an adviser can truly share wisdom with you on an ongoing basis."

Our Business Adviser Service is backed by entrepreneurial business experience honed at Fortune 500 companies, yet balanced by US Small Business practical know-how and start-up applications (see our CV ).

Our role is that of a client advocate and adviser leading up to the client's purchase of a US business; we serve as a trusted confidant to our client over an extended period of time. Again, we are not a "Business Broker" service. We operate with absolutely no affiliation to any business broker or other entity selling a business; absolutely no commission is received by us from the client's purchase of any business. This allows us to be impartial, to get involved objectively in current business issues, always focusing on short and long term goals best for the client.

One month of Business Adviser Service also includes one (1) comprehensive demographic report on any major US metropolitan area defined by US Zip Code. Report includes: household income; median resident age; resident occupations, cost of living index, etc. Data are based upon most recent US Census Report (additional reports per US Zip Code available for fee).

BUSINESS VALET
SERVICES

Before Your U.S. Business is Purchased

Serving Clients as their "Man on the Ground in the US"

___________________

Anything. Anytime. Anywhere in the USA, period. We gladly serve clients as their "adjutant" or "man on the ground" . . . in short, we will travel anywhere in the USA to gather information or act in the sole interest of our clients as required. In other words, we act as your professional attendant, your personal valet.

Custom tailored to save clients the need for overseas travel to the U.S. to perform any mundane on-site business task while they are preparing to purchase a business of any size in America.

Business Valet Services are typically utilized during the scouting and acquisition phases leading up to a client's purchase of a US based business. This service is quoted upfront based upon time / materials / mileage in direct response to a detailed assignment requested of us by our client. We realize that clients need impartial eyes, ears, and hands to assist their efforts to acquire, establish, or build a business prior to their arrival in the US

Past examples of Business Valet Services assignments include:

~ Business Site Survey:

To photograph, video, and document physical conditions of any US business establishment being considered for purchase, then transmit the data to our client who resides in Europe or abroad.

This service is often used by our clients who are overseas, but are unable to travel to the US to perform this otherwise mundane task.

~ US Vendor Approvals:

In preparation of launching a US business, our clients often have business materials and advertising printed in advance of their arrival to the US by local American vendors. We often act on behalf of our overseas client and travel to the vendor (or receive shipment of the vendor's samples) to review, critique, report back, and/or approve after viewing the vendor's "proof sample"; typically done before the full run of work is produced.

For example, this work is often done for European clients having business materials printed in the US prior to the client's US arrival.

~ Special Event Set-up & Hosting:

We can make all local US arrangements on behalf of our overseas client who desires to plan any sort of US business function to promote their new US business. For example, this has included:

Trade-Show Booth space arrangements

Preparation of Book Signing Events

Advanced Sales & Marketing Events

Local Publicity, Public Relations, & Networking Events

Chamber of Commerce Galas

And more (click on links above for client testimonies).

Basically, anything our client needs done in the US, we will find a way to get it done, thus saving our client the need for overseas travel to the US to perform an otherwise mundane task.

________________________________________

BUSINESS VALET SERVICES are offered on a per assignment on a contract basis at the discretion of the client interested in having any mundane on-site business task performed on their behalf while preparing to purchase a business of any size in America.

PRICE: Quoted Upfront per Assignment

(Based upon time / materials / mileage / expenses in direct response to a detailed assignment requested of us by our client to be their "Man on the Ground" in the US.)

How Do I Develop a Business Plan as Immigration Requires for my New U.S. Small Business?

BUSINESS PLAN WRITING SERVICES

During Your U.S. Small Business Purchase

Preparing Clients to Complete their Immigration Packet

___________________

YES, we can relieve this burden!

The written Business Plan is a critical element required by the US Government for the US Immigration Visa packet. "Off the shelf plans" do not pass muster; instead, we deliver highly customized, detailed business plans designed to show, not merely tell, the reader a clear path towards likely business success*.

Our clients take deep comfort in knowing we are not a "Business Plan mill". Our extensive Fortune 500 business experience is applied and woven into each and every Business Plan to forge a solid plan that has a realistic chance of succeeding. We do not "invent" a business for the client, but rather shape the client's existing, preconceived business idea into a written plan; conforming the client's inputs to the format prescribed by USCIS. We do everything possible to relieve the client of the Business Plan burden.

Typical development timeframe is 30 business days beginning when a client's deposit is received. Additionally, we have the resources available to expedite development of any Business Plan to meet a client's potentially urgent need. Business Plans required in under 30 business days are a slightly higher fee; they are quoted in advance without obligation based on a set, prorated formula (this allows clients to easily evaluate the time/cost trade off for any delivery date of their choosing).

Separate from the Business Plan, we also offer a "Letter of Accountancy" analysis service. This is a professional opinion summary of your proposed US business venture that is submitted to US Immigration Officials (see our Credentials ).

________________________________________

BUSINESS PLAN WRITING services are offered on an annual contract basis at the discretion of the client interested in protecting their business investment.

$1,650 / per plan,

per business principal, per business concept.

($150 discount if Business Adviser Services are purchased)

(Requires 30 business days to complete from time deposit is received, is derived from client's inputs, is typically 30-40 pages in length, and is delivered electronically to the client & client's counsel in Adobe.pdf format)

________________________________________

* The written Business Plan we deliver cannot guarantee the outcome of the client’s Visa process with the US Government nor can it guarantee or predict the client’s future business success.

How Do I Make Sure the U.S. Small Business I Purchase Will Grow, Thrive, and Stay in Business?

SMALL BUSINESS COACH SERVICES

After your US Business is Launched

Protecting Clients' New U.S. Business Investment

___________________

Recommended for clients who have bought a US business and have made an investment worth protecting. Gives the client direct and unlimited monthly access to US small business expertise and corporate executive talent during that first critical year in business.

Our clients get help in developing key milestones, specific metrics, and concise goals unique to them and focused on the specific task of building and running a successful new business in the US. This invaluable guidance is punctuated with Quarterly Business Reviews to keep the business on task and to ensure the best possible opportunity for success at the upcoming Year 3 and Year 5 USCIS evaluations.

A successful UK client who founded "Newleaf Training & Development Company" best summed up the value of using our Small Business Coach Services during his first business year in the US:

"Having the strong corporate backgrounds that we have, Newleaf was always conceived by us to be a BIG business bursting out of a small suit. It just made sense to surround ourselves with a team of specialist small business coaches instead of being 'chief cook and bottle washer' (i.e. trying to do everything ourselves). This allows us to focus on what we are great at."

Small Business Coach service ensures that our clients are not "flying solo" during the critical new business start-up period, typically the first year of operation. It is like having their own "virtual Board of Directors". This directly contributes towards the healthy growth of your new US business so you are provided every opportunity to later renew your US Visa based upon continued business success (see our Credentials ).
