AEG provides elite business advisors and midmarket CEOs unprecedented business development and peer-to-peer networking opportunities through an ecosystem of city-based communities. Our collective purpose is to help business owners gain from one of the most enduring lessons of each recession: the most operationally effective and the most agile companies generally suffer the least and are poised for the greatest gains. Our core principles are to integrate advice, both across disciplines as well as combining personal and business, in an owner-centric advisory model. It is to provide local advice by professionals who know the local market, have access to capital, information and connections in those markets, and have a stake in the local communities. Finally, we are committed to improving the business advisory process by moving away from discipline-centric advice to a more owner-centric, cross-disciplinary consilient approach AEG works directly with individual business owners by providing professional services on a contractual basis. These services include research, diagnostics, information, expertise, collaborations, access to capital and referral to needed resources. A relationship between AEG and an owner can last as little as a few weeks or for years.
