3. Problems that Red Hawk can help solve...


When Operating Management says...

<"We are nearly out of (bank) cash availability and are missing income opportunities” 
<“Our lender(s) are demanding payment” 
<“We have some real growth opportunities but our lender won’t lend us enough for working capital” 
<“We missed our projections but we are on the right track now” 

When Lenders or Investors might say… 

<“They don’t realize how serious their situation is” 
<“We can’t overadvance without a believable plan on being paid back” 
<“They don’t have a reasonable exit strategy for us” 
<“What is the viability of this business?"

Issues to resolve may include: Lack of growth -   disturbing trends… 

<“How can we survive in this economy?” 
<"We know what our problems are but we don't know how to solve them“ 
<"We need some time and breathing room to be able to fix our problems“ 
<"I know what we should be doing but I need help to be able to do it“ 
<"Our top management team has so many great ideas but it seems impossible to implement them“ 
<"We seem to have lost our focus, we chase sales but aren't creating as much value as we want to“ 
<"We are very good at planning, budgeting and operations but we don't really have the time or the expertise to 'think strategically'"  
< “Margins are slipping and our competitors are importing from Asia"

So, how does one decide to engage Red Hawk?   

<“What if nothing was done?"
<“What if the Company or project fails?” 
<“What would that mean to me personally?” 
<“Do we have the time and the people to do it ourselves?” 
<“How important and valuable would some help be, now?”

 "We should engage the best firm for the situation."
