At Asheville BFF, we assist you in crafting your Business Plan, which serves as the essential “road map” for managing a prosperous enterprise. This plan encompasses the creation of a 12-month “rolling” cash-flow forecast to pinpoint your business’s financial needs and to introduce various funding sources to fulfill these requirements.

Mark also aids in shaping your financial and operational strategies by pinpointing key business metrics; these are measurable values utilized to monitor and evaluate the status of a specific business process. Moreover, if you are contemplating selling your business, Mark will navigate you through the valuation of your business and demonstrate how to present your business optimally to potential buyers.
