Capabilities:
Focus Point Consulting is capable of working on simple to complex deals and matters. We have experience on multi-billion dollar transactions, some involving more than 125 advisors. Generally, $40 million to $150 million transactions garner 10 to 30 advisors, requiring expensive coordination and collaboration to mitigate costs. In either case, at the client’s direction, we are capable to work with all of them or sub-groups to work towards client’s objectives.
Focus Point Consulting brings clients significant breadth of experience across numerous types of transactions, projects and business affairs (see non-exhaustive list below). Whether the business matter involves revenue activities, expense matters or risk analysis, clients gain insights on appropriate and measured responses and handling of business matters. We help clients work towards key financial metrics and performance indicators.
We are experts in business ownership matters that may arise, advising entities comprised of numerous levels and layers of affiliated entities, domestic and globally. Ownership of companies and investor preference can turn greatly on tax classification as a C-corporation, S-corporation or partnership, and we are versed in understanding the differences. We work with owners, Boards and executives and their advisors with efforts to discharge business judgment.
We are familiar with crisis projects and segregating division, business line or product matters, tasked on managing ‘bet the company’ or ‘keep the lights on’ matters. We can assist in numerous corporate transitions ranging from shake-ups, shut-downs, take-overs and changes of management. We assist clients on acquisitions of public or private companies or a division or certain technologies.
In addition to transactions, we also work with clients on a variety of private matters, including risk mitigation, productizing, resolution of conflicts of interest, board governance, trust administration, formations, and fiduciary dynamics.
Focus Point Consulting does not engage in any licensed activities. We defer to licensed professionals, such as attorneys, investment bankers, certified public accountants, etc.
While from time to time, we may assist smaller clients, we encourage those interested in learning more about transactions and business affairs to visit our Learning & Training section of our website.
Commercialization
We can assist clients on commercializing products, including establishing special purpose entities and bringing together stakeholders to support the commercialization efforts. We have extensive experience with mid-sized and large companies working alongside internal and external stakeholders to develop new technologies and products, expanding new features and partnership with other companies to do the same.
Often initial success leads to business initiatives to expand product lines and technologies into other fields of use, markets and industries. Expansion funding for commercialization can create more. Clients have no assurance that new products or technology will be successful/profitable. New commercializing endeavors expose current business. We can work with clients and their advisors to commercialize new technologies while mitigating risks to current assets and businesses.
