Start with the decision
in front of you.

Bring the actual business, the numbers, and the question. We focus the work on what will help you move forward.

Build

A stronger business.

Identify the operating constraints that are holding the business back and decide what to address first.

  • Revenue model and margins
  • Owner dependence and delegation
  • Sales systems and operating priorities

Buy

A better-informed decision.

Pressure-test the commercial logic of an acquisition before committing further time and resources.

  • Business model and cash-flow quality
  • Risks and diligence questions
  • Fit with your operating capabilities

Prepare

A business ready for change.

Understand where the business needs work before approaching a buyer, capital partner, or new stage of growth.

  • Financial visibility
  • Management depth and repeatable processes
  • Customer concentration and revenue quality

Specific to your business.
Focused on your priorities.

Start with a short introduction. We can then determine whether a focused review or a broader consulting engagement makes sense.

  1. 01

    Share the context.

    Tell me about the company, the decision you are facing, and what you want to accomplish.

  2. 02

    Agree on the work.

    Define the question, relevant materials, scope, and fees before the engagement begins.

  3. 03

    Work through the next move.

    Review the business, challenge assumptions, and identify practical priorities.

Start a conversation

What are you
working through?

Send a short introduction with your company, the challenge, and your timing. There is no need for a polished presentation.

A Few Useful Details.

Is this a one-off session or ongoing consulting?

The scope depends on the question and the business. Start with an introduction so we can discuss the appropriate format and fees.

Can you help execute a capital raise or sale?

For a financing, acquisition, or sale mandate, visit capital and M&A advisory. Zastre & Co. is the route for transaction execution.

I own a marketing agency. Can I discuss selling it?

Yes. If you want to explore ZKW acquiring your agency directly, use the agency acquisition page.
