Can We help?
We built Montezuma's from nothing, just the seed of an idea and taught ourselves to make chocolate, building a multi-channel business in the process. We are hugely familiar with the demands of running a business after the initial idea pops into your head. Who knew that would just be the start of a whole host of challenges! We are happy to discuss businesses in any sector and at any stage of their growth but we would largely categorise our areas of expertise as follows:
List of Services
-
Getting SeriousList Item 1
After several years of having fun with chocolate, we realised we had to get serious about our business. This doesn't mean business has to become boring and corporate. But it does mean reviewing your leadership skills and your key team members, instilling some discipline around responsibilities and finances and ensuring your business is fit for the future and for your ambitions.
-
GrowthList Item 2
As founders of a fast growing, multi-channel business, we became adept at managing multiple sales channels, maintaining the optimum channel mix, protecting the brand, maximising profit and retaining ownership.
-
ExitList Item 4
At some point in your business, you will be approached by potential buyers or you will actively seek an exit. This is an incredibly exciting but nerve-wracking time in any business, not to mention distracting, but there are a whole host of things you can put in place to ensure you are in control of your exit and what happens next.
-
Founder relationshipsList Item 3
As husband and wife founders we are well aware of how intertwined personal and professional lives become when setting up a business with a co-founder. When you have to go home and have dinner with your co-founder every night this creates an even more interesting dynamic! We are not therapists but we can help you work towards a perfect work-life balance with your co-founders, whether you are married to them or not.
