Consulting Services
Business Strategy & Operations
Blue Aqua works with newly acquired businesses, or existing enterprises on all aspects of business operations and development. Blue Aqua utilizes a multi-phase assessment to inform decisions and direct the process. There are three primary ways we structure engagements:
Assess the operation and provide strategic guidance/business plan.
Work on a long-term retainer-based consulting arrangement
Immerse ourselves in the business for 12-24 months and create a plan and procure the needed personnel to deliver success.
Blue Aqua has an established network in the family office, private equity, and venture capital markets. This accessibility produces large volumes of deal flow and strategic investment opportunities. We utilize a high-level vetting sequence to qualify/disqualify opportunities. The selection process does not validate specific investments but ensures four key points.
The company has a viable offering.
The market will likely accept this offering.
Business model is sound, and resources have been allocated or identified.
The allocation and use of proceeds are logical.
Additionally, we can utilize our extensive network to research specific target markets that are of interest to the client.
Capital Procurement & Investing
The primary goal of executive coaching is to aid business leaders in improving organizational performance. Sounds good…. right? What does that really mean? The world of coaching and consulting benefits from poor implementation of initiatives and organizational dysfunction. How does someone that has never been in the “hot” seat know the pressures you are facing?
Blue Aqua approaches coaching from a different perspective. We look at ourselves as part of your organization. Our team members have all sat in the “C” chairs and know the tangible and intangible pressures you face daily. The issues faced by each business is unique, therefore each solution should be also.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
Independent retailers are no strangers to the David vs Goliath battle. They have had to withstand the pressure of box stores and discount retailers for years. This battle has gotten even more difficult with digital commerce becoming a go to for many consumers. We have several programs that we deploy to work with independent retailers to make sure they remain engaged with their consumer. There are no “tricks” that will lead to success. We work with retailers to determine how to reach their customer, how to hear from their customer, and how to ensure their customer doesn’t feel like a “transaction”. Additionally, we become a confidant and advisor to the retail entrepreneur/manager.
Blue Aqua has multiple programs available for independent retailers. Contact us to see how we can help your organization defeat the Goliaths.
