Does your business have a
Financial Navigation System?

Most people like you started their business to follow their passion, achieve financial independence, or make an impact. What we have found from working with dozens of clients across a variety of industries is that most businesses lack a framework to measure and manage their progress towards achieving long-term financial goals. They have a need for support and would benefit from a strategic financial partner providing real-time data to drive their critical business decisions.

Financial best practices are a core component of long-term business sustainability and even the best business leaders can struggle with managing their financials and effectively planning their resources. Without the proper visibility, many businesses are navigating blind and making costly mistakes*.

There are many reasons why this happens, but it doesn’t have to happen to you! With proper planning and thoughtful execution, your business will become the one in four that makes it to 15 years and beyond.

Our brief, confidential evaluation will help us—and you—understand where you might need some guidance. It takes only a few minutes to give us some insight and schedule a call. There’s no obligation to see if we are a good fit.

Business Evaluation

 *Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that approximately 45% of new businesses fail during the first five years, and 65% fail during the first 10 years. Sadly, these numbers have been consistent since the 1990s.

Deborah P.
Business Manager

“I met the team at Sustain | A | Business right at the start of 2020 when the world and my business were under a tremendous amount of change. I was contemplating multiple business concepts and directions and had a lot of plates in the air spinning that needed to be highly coordinated, well thought out and some just needed to be brought in for a safe landing without any damage done. In just a few meetings, the team at S|A|B helped me take control of my financial navigation system, they gave me clear decision-making guidance and freed me up to take actions with confidence. Two years later, my ventures are laser focused, my business is growing rapidly and I have a plan in place to manage my business finances and understand them better than ever.”
