Strategic Advice
Before participating in a capital raise, astute investors, whether they are professional investors managing other individuals’ capital or high net worth individuals managing their own funds, will carefully scrutinize every aspect of a company into which they are considering making an investment. Investors are looking for potential problems that a company might have before agreeing to make an investment in a company. An important aspect of what Blodgett & Co. provides to clients is the ability to uncover potential investor concerns and assist in resolving such concerns before our clients meet with potential investors. Because Blodgett & Co. is recognized to possess this expertise, over the last several years, we have been retained on a pure consulting basis to help clients creatively formulate and successfully execute new operating strategies. Unlike larger firms, each associate at Blodgett & Co. has at least 20 years’ experience so the client engagements we accept each benefit from a high degree of business experience throughout the entire engagement process.
Blodgett & Co.'s professionals have worked extensively with middle market companies in every stage of the corporate life cycle. Frequently, Blodgett & Co. has assisted clients in formulating long-term strategic goals and short-term business tactics to achieve their goal(s) which may include accelerating revenue growth, increasing profitability, raising capital or a sale of the business. We accomplish this by first completing a strategic assessment in which we identify the key strengths and weaknesses of our client. Based on our assessment, we are able to develop a series of strategies and tactics which will enable the company to achieve its goal(s) by leveraging the inherent strengths and core competencies that we have identified. Given our cumulative experience, we understand what works well and what doesn’t work for middle market companies, not just conceptually but from actual hands-on experience. Our recommendations of proposed strategies and tactics are tailored to what realistically can be accomplished by our clients. Further, Blodgett & Co. frequently is retained to assist in the implementation of the strategies and tactics it recommends, thus increasing the probability of a successful outcome.
