From the beginning, Bench has always committed to supporting promising new companies. We are equally adept at assisting established companies in “emerging from the ashes” of fiscal emergencies, legal crises, mergers, divestitures, major leadership changes or sudden reorganization. Bench International’s consulting arm excels at taking emergent companies to their potential and helping troubled ones to return to their mission.
Supporting & Growing Emergent Companies
Of course, as with any sizeable “investment,” we first conduct copious research and thoughtful assessment of the company against a host of constructive metrics. We’ll meet with the company to gain a full understanding – quantitative and qualitative – of their mission, vision, business plan, budget, operations, structuring, personnel and culture. Most importantly, we’ll heavily examine the viability of their long-term goals. Only then will we determine, much like we require of our candidates, whether it is a “good fit”.
Our targeted consulting guides new companies in navigating the treacherous waters of taking a product to market. Our wealth of experience in the life sciences sectors extends industry-specific strategies for “making it” in today’s health care atmosphere. Beyond that, a variety of flexible, long-term compensation options can be arranged (for example, by offsetting cash fees with equity). We want and intend to grow old with you.
Rebuilding & Revitalizing Established Companies
Today’s businesses face an unprecedented set of pressures and challenges: rising competition, shifting market dynamics and a growing global setting, as well as more serious and immediate obstacles like mergers, reorganizations and other crises. Sometimes even yesterday’s seemingly thriving company hits a rough spot today, and needs help getting back on its feet to rebuild for a better tomorrow.
When your business encounters trouble, Bench is right there with the strategies that affect real turnaround. Trust us: our experienced consultants have “seen it all.” We can help you to skillfully put out the fires and prevent further damage. We will employ a targeted, custom-tailored methodology to repair, rebuild and revitalize. Even when there is minimal tragedy, we will work to close the existing gaps between your company’s performance and its success plan.
For the company fighting to surface from a recent crisis, the temporary inability to afford the help they so desperately need presents a catch-22. A standard retainer timetable may be unworkable. Even within a more forgiving timeframe, other firms offer a “one size fits all” extension option. And of course, this only piles undue stress on top of the client’s already trying situation. Uniquely, Bench delivers company-building services with the option to create or extend a customized payment plan. Additionally, depending on the exact nature of the tragedy and type of the business, we may be able to collaborate on alternate routes for partial compensation.
Rough beginnings or temporary obstacles should not leave companies in a permanent breakdown state. To fill this growing chasm, Bench International delivers extraordinary company-building support to help struggling life science companies to grow and rebound.
