Well, none of them are Fortune 500. By design.
We are small and like working with small.
Strong preference for helping folks in Arkansas, but we’ve had clients around the US and even abroad over the years.
We have helped companies at every stage from pre-funding through exit/succession.
Selectively, we’ve done some turnarounds.
Those can be fun, or not, depending on the situation and the people.
We’ve worked in everything from manufacturing to retail, medical services to fine art, agriculture to technology, even a few mid-size non-profits.
We do like working with folks who import dollars and make a local impact.
We cover many functions, but more importantly we know when we are getting out of our depth in any category and can find and collaborate with the right resources when that happens.
If we do what is right for your business, things work out.
Yeah, we don’t really have any.
We assess what you need and become all, part, or none of the solution, helping you discover and deploy the rest of the solution.
Folks who haven’t worked with us often think we are consultants.
If that is really what you want, call someone else.
If you want to know how we are different from that, let’s talk.
We have a small, broadly experienced staff and a significant number of affiliates that we are proud to include at suitable times.
We are always looking to connect the best resources, whether staff or affiliate or strangers, to valuable opportunities in the interests of the client.
