Advisory Board Placement

In certain situations, Capital West Advisors will be willing to place a qualified individual onto the advisory board of a client company.  This advisory member will offer value-added advice regarding the strategic planning, operational planning, development, and growth of the client company.  These advisory services are offered on a 12 month basis and the advisor will typically offer these services in exchange for a minor equity stake in the client company.  If the client company has not yet raised capital, these advisory services will be targeted towards taking the necessary steps to start a company and building a solid foundation that is worthy of securing capital for and starting a company.  After raising capital, the focus of the advisory services becomes taking the necessary steps to successfully launch and grow the client company. 

During the 12 months, the client company will be allowed to use the name & likeness of the advisor on their business plan and marketing materials.  The advisory board member will be available for a minimum of 10 hours per month to perform these services for a period of 12 months.

Growth Consulting

Capital West Advisors offers full-service Strategic Growth Consulting to support client companies in their transition from emerging venture to a mature and sustainable business. This transitional phase represents the most crucial hurdle in the creation of a lasting, stable, business that can fully capitalize the inherent strengths of its product and service offerings. We view our strategic growth consulting relationship with client companies as a long term commitment to your business growth and thoughtfully planned maturation.

Initially, CWA will assess the functional capabilities of your company's Management and Operations, Financial Controls and Fiscal Planning, Organizational Structure and Manpower, and Business and Sales Channel Development. Our team of experienced professionals will develop a specific 'action plan' designed to smartly manage your business through a period of accelerated growth and increased business margins. This action plan will provide recommendations for improving your firm's sales channels and commercial strategies, brand management, human resources and key management hires, financial systems, cost controls, marketing and promotional relationships, strategic alliances, and provides a tactical plan for management during the course of the most important phase of your company's lifecycle

Our team of consultants possesses broad expertise across a wide array of industries and business functions. Our consultants have advanced, professional degrees from leading universities and numerous years of professional consulting and senior business management experience. We work closely with management and key staff members of our client companies to gain a specific and unique understanding of where your business stands, where you would like to take it, and precisely the best route to achieve these goals.

Because we operate with minimal overhead, we are able to offer our Strategic Growth Consulting services to CWA client companies for a fraction of the cost of larger management consulting firms. As needed, our own executive staff can be placed in more permanent board advisory positions with client companies.
