Challenge. Health & Wellness Group, composed of multiple practitioners, was interested in consolidating their practices into and forming a single business entity in the Seattle market. They wanted to clearly understand the characteristics and benefits of the various business structures and the process required to form a new business entity. They were bogged down in discussion and needed some clarity to make an objective business decision and move forward with their venture.
Approach. I researched the common business structures, their characteristics and benefits, and the required steps to form a new entity. Based on my understanding of their specific needs and concerns, I gave my recommendation for the most appropriate business structure for them. I also provided the group with an overview of the process to go from where they were currently at – the concept stage – to grand opening. In the process, I addressed all preliminary questions and answered all additional ones they had.
Results. Health & Wellness Group had the clarity and confidence to make an informed, objective decision on a key business matter to help them move forward with their venture. They also received a structured framework and action plan with which to work.
Feedback. “Concise and thorough. I learned more about business structures in one hour with Steve then I learned in a full quarter of Business Education. I’m now certain of the structure that works best for my business needs, and what’s more I can explain why that is so and why another option wouldn’t work. The subtle and neutral guidance that Steve provided to us, allowing us to draw our own conclusions and then supporting them with his own insights and experience…Truly unique, gifted, knowledgeable and empowering. Thank you for your kind and continued support!” – M. Radziszewski, MS, EAMP/LAc
