The Business Check-Up
Just like an annual
physical you get from your doctor, a Business Check-Up is a "physical" for
your business. Using the DSLCS Small Business Framework, we assess your
business on the 10 Aspects of Small Businesses. This
qualitative and quantitative analysis provides
you with a thorough understanding of how your business measures up: how
suitable your business is for resale: how good your business is.
Further, it is guaranteed.
We provide Business
Check-Ups for people who are:
-
Business owners
who want to grow their business
-
Business owners
who want to improve their business
-
Owners looking at
selling their business and want the best price for it
-
Business
purchasers - as part
of their due diligence process -
to determine where and how the business can be improved after
purchase to increase its value and effectiveness
The check-up is a two-day co-investment. We provide an analyst who performs
this two-day, thorough assessment of your business, and you pay a marginal
fee which is used to offset direct expenses and travel costs for the
analyst.

We call ourselves
"Margin Doctors" for a reason...
Similar to the Family Doctor, our business analysts are trained to perform
an exhaustive diagnostic study of a business. An in-depth check-up is
performed along qualitative and quantitative aspects of your business
identifying strengths and weaknesses and examining the opportunities and
threats you are facing.
