It takes more than a great idea to build a winning business.
Converting a dream into a successful business requires intuition, skill and stamina. You'll need vision and passion, a great team, a sustainable business model and a product or service that people want to buy. For a business to succeed, it must evolve, develop and disrupt, finding a better or different way to challenge the status quo.
The ARCA team loves working with start-ups and it shows in our work. Our value comes from our experience and that’s what makes us versatile start-up business generalists. We’ve helped launch companies, scale companies, and sell companies.
In addition, we can play an active, hands-on role in our start-up client companies’ success – our work can be structured on a project basis or as a part-time interim operating role. Think of us as your start-up partners.
Most importantly, we speak the language of start-up, especially regarding finance and business development. We have supported many clients in numerous pitch meetings and investor presentations.
We have strategic solutions built for start-ups as they reach each phase of a business life-cycle.

One of the biggest hurdles to overcome idea and launch stage is having a clear idea of the problem you’re trying to solve, and a clear vision of how your business/product will solve that problem. The root cause of most business failures stems from a lack of strategic planning, effective product/service branding, or limited resources. Our consultants help you understand the risks and plan for challenges. Starting a new business requires extensive planning and preparation.
Revenues and customers are increasing with many new opportunities and issues. Profits are strong, but competition is surfacing. Does this sound familiar?
It’s time to focus on growing your business, starting internally. This requires a strategic understanding of organizational dynamics that will influence business success or failure. Furthermore, growth in sales requires an increase in resources. These decisions should not be made without the support of market-experts who understand the demands you are facing now or will face in the future.
Your business has matured into a thriving company with a place in the market and loyal customers. Sales growth is not explosive but manageable. Business life has become more routine. It’s time to focus on expansion to ensure the successful extension of your offering to new markets and verticals.
This business life cycle is characterized by a new period of growth into new markets and distribution channels. This stage is often triggered by the business owner’s desire to gain a larger market share and find new revenue and profit channels. Bring in the experts to ensure your market expansion efforts are sustainable.
At these important phases of your business, year over year sales and profits are likely trending stable, however, competition remains fierce. Eventually, sales start to fall off and a decision is needed whether to expand the company or exit the market. This decision can be difficult and is often influenced by a lack of strategic insight or information derived from a review and analysis of the internal and external factors that influence your business outcomes. Don’t make this critical decision without the appropriate information and insight.
Your business has expanded, and you are reaching the height of your success in your market. This could be the opportunity to cash out on all your effort and years of hard work, or it can mean shutting down the business. No matter what your decision may be, there are critically important steps you must take to ensure you optimize the value of your business.
