CoreStrata® has been accelerating the growth, performance, and profitability of businesses for over 20 years. We help small and medium-size companies, across all industries, develop innovative performance strategies and leadership to prosper in today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. Our results are measurable! We understand the needs of small and medium-size businesses and offer a broad and comprehensive range of management consulting services, from developing core performance strategies to aligning and developing an entire organization to support and drive the company’s strategies. Succession planning for both ownership and leadership are among our most sought after services as the nearly 4.5 million boomer business owners will be looking to exit their businesses over the next 10-20 years. A majority of these small businesses, both family operated and owned and non-family, with annual revenues under $25 million are not structured properly, nor is the management team developed extensively enough to ensure the organization is sustainable without the founder and owner. This is an extremely important issue because if the business is not sustainable than there will be few buyers and virtually no one that will finance the deal. The succession planning process should ideally begin about 10 years prior to the exit to allow sufficient time to develop the management team, demonstrate effectiveness and success, and prepare the business to maximize value and attractiveness.
