Business and Corporate Advice
Dillon & Elbourn has a long and successful history in providing superior advice to entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses and corporate entities. We have extensive experience in providing innovative and practical solutions to our clients through the various stages of the business life cycle, from initial start-ups, through to growth planning and exit strategies.
Business Start-Up and Technology Commercialisation
Starting a new business venture or commercialising technology is both exciting and daunting. Investing in the right advice gives your new business venture the best chance of success and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
Dillon & Elbourn will advise the most suitable structure for your business and assist you with the establishment of a management reporting system and statutory registrations.
Our practical experience and comprehensive template suite assists you to quickly and cost-effectively prepare a business plan and financial model, significantly increasing your chances of success and securing the best possible source of finance.
Business Growth Planning
All businesses need to have a growth and improvement plan. Too often successful businesses contract because owners and managers fail to implement growth and improvement strategies.
Traditionally, business owners are heavily involved in the day-to-day operation of their business which can impair operational objectivity. Dillon & Elbourn provides this objectivity through independent and frank advice. Our experience across a number of businesses and industries ideally positions us to offer insightful, practical advice and tangible solutions.
Our practical, ‘hands on’ approach to the business development process incorporates “ready made” “easy to implement” solutions to assist in the growth of your business. As part of this process, you have access to a comprehensive suite of systems and process templates, business plans, strategic plans, finance applications and financial models.
Capital Funding
Critical to the continued success and growth of a business is securing adequate finance and investment capital.
Financiers and investors are naturally risk adverse. Their required rate of return and consequently your cost of capital, will be determined by their perceived risk. The higher cost of capital, the lower the value of the business.
Dillon & Elbourn recognise the impact this relationship has on your capital raising abilities and business values. Consequently, we have developed risk management processes, such as investor ready services, systemisation, strategic planning and financial modelling that add real value to your business and can be the difference in securing capital or not.
Business Exit Strategies
The sale of your business can be difficult and often traumatic.. It can also be complex and costly if you get it wrong. Planning for the sale of your business is critical to ensure you maximise value and minimise the tax impost.
Understanding whether your potential purchaser is an owner operator, family member, employee, competitor or ASX -listed acquisition can have a major bearing on how you prepare and market your business to achieve best value.
We have the experience, knowledge and tools to prepare, market and negotiate your business sale to achieve the best long-term outcome..
