Thank
you for taking the time to download this white paper. It contains some thought and conversation
about why BTF Management Consultants, Inc. is a different kind of consulting
company from those that you might be familiar with. BTF can provide all of the resources that a
company needs to gain and maintain its corporate health. Please take a moment and read through this. Then contact us for any need that you might
have.
When is the last time that you made an investment in your business that had a guaranteed Rate of Return on that investment? How does 200% sound?
There’s a difference in the kind of help that you can get for your small
to medium sized business. You can choose
the traditional offering that’s been around for 50 years. You can agree to a “free analysis” of your
business. You’ll get a sales rep to come in and make a presentation based on
your existing information. The idea is
to convince you that their “cookie cutter” approach to business improvement
will result in substantive changes in your business. In some cases, this “one size fits all”
approach to business re-engineering works pretty well. Generally, these are companies that are
basically fairly solid with some minor hurdles to clear. For the rest of us (those of us with more
serious issues to address), the conventional approach to small business
consulting leaves us some good ideas, but no way to implement them. Why can’t a small business get the same
kind of first rate, custom tailored business advice and systems that the big
boys have? Is it just too expensive
for small businesses to afford?
The answer is that you can. BTF Management Consultants is a real
consulting firm with real answers specifically tailored to your business and the
problems that you face, no matter what they may be. Yes, you still get the free business
analysis. The secret to that is that
such an analysis is a part of the due diligence that ALL consulting firms must
do. The fact that the old line firms
don’t want you to know is that there is a great deal more to that process that
just making a “butcher paper” presentation based on the application of pre-made
package solutions, if you really want to help a business thrive in the
long-term. Real consulting help is based
on performance and results. The BTF
solutions are centered on those two factors.
BTF Management Consultants wants
to establish a long-term professional relationship with entrepreneurial
management as a source of business expertise that contributes to the
solution of your business problems. BTF
is high-powered senior executive talent available to business that solves
problems on a pay for performance basis. BTF is a profit center
with 100% client satisfaction guaranteed. (See www.btfmanagement.com for details.)
BTF takes all the risk by performing a due diligence survey of your
business on-site prior to accepting a project. The information developed and
problem identification data is available to the client and is confidential to
BTF. This information will not be
released in any form without the written permission of the client. This process is what allows BTF to solve your
problems on a guaranteed basis.
Are you operating your business? Are you controlling your
business? Are you making a profit? Do you want more profit, time
off, control of expenses, exit plan, business plan, market and sales plan,
financial reporting, management organization, risk and asset management, or
just help? These examples are but a few
of the problems solved by BTF. Phone, fax, or email for quick answers.
100% Client Satisfaction
All BTF clients are required to document their
satisfaction with a letter at the end of the project that answers the following
questions.
Ø
Are you
satisfied with the quality and quantity of service provided?
Ø
Is the
increased profit identified real and attainable?
Ø
Has all work
been installed and are all programs functioning?
Ø
Do the
documented savings and income enhancement totals exceed twice the project cost
as calculated by the client accounting personnel? 200+% ROI
If the answer to these four questions is not yes, the BTF contract for service continues at no charge until a positive letter of satisfaction is obtained.
BTF will produce a healthy
business that satisfies the client, produces a profit, and protects the assets
from catastrophic loss. The BTF plan for each business is tailor made
to fit the needs and available assets. In general the control points are
listed below:
Statement
of
Goals To lead you must know where you are going.
Asset-Controls
Control and
protection of all resources is mandatory.
Cash

The
first request from BTF for information is to make sure there is not an
unidentified elephant problem. We both must be sure of the nature of the
project. To this end BTF has a short
list of Due Diligence Material. Not all business factors can be included.
Any critical information should be included. As stated this procedure is
to keep the consultant from wasting time and money. This information
would be available on site to begin the project survey.
The
Beginning - DUE DILIGENCE MATERIAL
In
order to get started, BTF will need to be provided the following materials
regarding your business operations by name, location, annual sales volume
profitability and alter egos you have operated with and all of its Parents
and/or Subsidiaries:
1. The Quarterly
and/or Annual Financial as well as IRS tax Reports of the corporation for the
last three years.
2. A schedule
setting forth who will make and how decisions will be made regarding the
various uses of proceeds and any change in the uses of proceeds.
3. Budgets of
operations and sources and uses of funds for the corporation.
4. A schedule
setting forth any plans for future acquisition and any projections for the
corporation’s operations in the immediate future.
5. Aged account
receivables and account payables.
6. Most current 3
months bank statements and payroll records.
7. Any option,
bonus, profit sharing or retirement plans in existence.
8. Any loans made
to or from directors, officers and employees.
9. Any internal
or operations manuals currently in use.
10. Insurance policies presently in existence for the
corporation and any key employees.
11. A schedule setting forth all deeds, mortgages, title reports
and principal leases of the corporation.
12. Debt instruments, indentures, loan agreements and agreements
or documents relating to lines of credit.
13. Any license or franchise agreements.
14. Any appraisals and valuation reports relating to the
corporation’s assets.
15. Any legal action corporate or private pending.
Any
request that does not apply or is not available is to be identified.
The
next step for BTF is to focus on the three laws of business, satisfy a
customer, make a profit, and protect the assets.
This
information is by observation and communication with management, employees, and
customers. Examples in these areas are given for illustration only.

as much detail as possible. If your instruction is to concentrate on a
