Start-Ups and Growing Businesses

Owning and operating a small business is often a personal and full-time commitment. Return on the significant personal investment of time, creativity and financial resources are maximized when the business is built on a strong foundation — a foundation comprising a clear vision, an accurate assessment of the competition and market, a strong infrastructure, reliable capital, credit, and a sound business plan.

RDA consultants support small business owners at every stage, from start-up through growth, to maturity. We recognize that small business owners wear many hats and strive to help our small business clients to leverage their personal investment to achieve maximum benefit.

Entrepreneurial Consulting

Launching a business is filled with challenge and promise. For many entrepreneurs it is an all encompassing experience. Entrepreneurs are often full of determination and creative energy. RDA consultants employ highly developed listening skills and directed questions to help them harness their creativity by thinking broadly, but acting in a focused manner. Often, we find that entrepreneurs are juggling multiple viable business ideas — we help them prioritize actions and determine an appropriate sequencing, while keeping in mind the entrepreneur's complete "idea universe."

We tailor our management consulting services for our entrepreneurial clients, helping our clients grow their businesses, and plan and prepare for future business and product launches. Throughout engagements, we help entrepreneurs effectively prioritize, delegate, and execute on critical tasks.

On a more personal level, our executive coaching services help our entrepreneurial and small business owners and managers to focus on their personal roles in their business, to maximize personal success while preventing burnout. Entrepreneurial ventures are often very demanding of their founders' time and mind-space — we help our clients maintain a balance in their lives which is often compromised in pursuit of business goals. We find that our coaching clients not only find more personal peace of mind, but also are more productive and successful in their businesses.

Established Small Businesses

RDA consultants help keep the mission, vision, values, and objectives of an organization in focus so that small business owners can make tough decisions clearly and objectively. RDA consultants have extensive experience helping our clients to expand capacity and grow or maintain profitability without overstretching resources or burning out small management teams. Through sound business analysis, we help our clients anticipate and strategically realign under shifting market conditions.

Key to managing growth and change is the development and recruitment of new talent. Through strategic communications, internal training, mentoring, and organizational learning, we help our clients foster a work atmosphere that encourages long term employment, thereby keeping employees invested in the organization's success and reducing the high costs of turnover.

RDA consultants understand the emotional, financial, and personal investment made to launch new businesses, and are dedicated to ensuring that our small business clients sustain and grow their vibrant and viable enterprises.
