A review can apply to an entire enterprise, to specific divisions or even specific functions of an enterprise. The review is flexible and can encompass diverse areas such as core products, sales and marketing, business systems and processes, reporting lines, information flow, staffing levels and staff performance, accounting and administration, business finance and more. As a result of the review a list of recommended action points is drawn up, many of which Sothertons can handle for you.

These include:

• Defining an organisational chart.
• Drafting a business plan.
• Creating or upgrading systems to run the business effectively.
• Improving business reporting functions.
• Negotiating and liaising with trading partners, government bodies, banks, and industry contacts.
• Advising on business development, new products or services.
• Recruiting suitably qualified staff.
• Assisting with business acquisitions and divestments and due diligence processes.
• Identifying areas of efficiency and cost reduction through shared services, particularly in merged organisations.
