Biz Startup Services

So you have that entrepreneurial spirit.  You have your business plan in hand (or not) and are ready to light this candle...or maybe you already did!  You've done your homework.  You are confident that your plan is sound.  You are certainly determined to make it work.  Now all you need to do is get those doors open, now!  But where do you begin??

Problem: Business readiness...many businesses start every year without a solid foundation, subsequently failing.  Starting a business without a solid business foundation would be like building a new house on bare ground...not good.

How important is a solid business foundation?  According to Dunn & Bradstreet 80% of the entrepreneurs attempting to start a business, fail to get it off the ground!  That means only 1 in 5 actually launch their venture.  WOW!  Couple that with the 33% to 65% failure rate within the first 5 years of business and you start to get the idea of how vital a solid foundation is to your venture.

Solution: Biz Works and ACI-Survivor©.  Combining the experience of Tyler Powell at Biz Works and ACI-Survivor©, you can do a complete assessment of your business plan, or current operation, ensuring you have a solid foundation.  Having helped over 30 entrepreneurs get their own business, Tyler, can help you create a solid business foundation, launch your business AND have fun doing it!

ACI-Survivor© is a a foundational excellence assessment and creation tool...a great program for pre-venture startup entrepreneurs and those organizations in the early years (typically with less than 5 employees). 

We understand that each business has unique needs and challenges.  That is why we help you formulate an opening plan to address those needs.  This is YOUR business and we are here to help YOU make your dream of business ownership become a reality.

Stop struggling on the things you never intend to master. (i.e. How many businesses do you plan to open in your lifetime?)  Stay focused on what you do best and let us handle the rest. 

Get the assurance, comfort and safety of working with someone who is as committed to your success as you are....if that's possible. J

Who is it best suited for?  (top)
When combined with the expertise and experience of Tyler Powell at Biz Works, ACI-Survivor© is best suited for entrepreneurs at the pre-venture stage or those recently opened and have fewer than 5 employees.  The whole point is to be sure your business has a solid foundation from which to grow and thrive.

Does this just give me numbers and colors back or is there more to it?  (top)
Yes!  There is much more to ACI-Survivor© than just numbers and colors...those are just your dashboard summaries.  Each question has associated tasks, which work as a "project to-do" list for establishing your solid business foundation.  Tyler will help you create tasks that are appropriate for your business and even help you be accountable to yourself for getting them done.

Will this work for my business?  (top)
Yes!  Every business has fundamental/foundational "bricks" that must be in place for long-term growth and survival. (ex: core competencies, market size & potential, delivery & services processes, strategic planning, financial planning,...etc.)  That said, Tyler will customize the entire startup and foundational assessment process to meet your unique business needs.

What type of product is this?  /  Do I have to install special software?  (top)
ACI-Survivor© is a Microsoft Excel-based application that runs on almost all Microsoft Office versions.  It’s user friendly, even if you have never used Excel before!  Best of all, you keep it on YOUR computer in YOUR office so the “sensitive” information stays away from prying eyes.  Tyler Powell is also a certified Microsoft Excel Expert so you will be in good hands the whole time.

Do I get my own copy of ACI-Survivor© ?  (top)
Yep!  You will be working with YOUR copy (personally licensed and serialized) the whole time.  It's yours to keep and use to establish a solid foundation for your business.
