Services

Anchor Advisors works with business owners with 10 to 100 employees to help them grow their business, move with confidence and make quicker decisions. We help our clients strengthen the four pillars of their business – Purpose, People, Process and Performance Measures – providing them with a firm foundation on which to grow.

By working alongside business owners to help them focus on their purpose, priorities become clear. The right people create leverage for the business owner; they have room to breathe again. Consistent process allows an owner to focus only on the outliers, and let their team handle the routine. Results become more predictable. With performance measures in place, business owners know the engine is running smoothly, and where they should spend their time.

These services are delivered through our Business Support Program. The Business Support Program is a customized process designed for your business that involves regularly scheduled meetings, homework assignments (both for you and for our advisors) and accountability. This process allows us to focus on the areas that are most important to you while ensuring that we are making progress toward your goals.

	PURPOSE What is the vision that you have for your business? What strategy should you employ to achieve that vision? Are your goals and objectives aligned with your vision and purpose? Will you be satisfied once you achieve business success? How well is your staff aligned to your vision and strategy? A clear purpose enables you to lead your business, not run your business.
	PEOPLE Do you have the right people on your team in the right positions? Are your employees working toward your business’ mission and goals? Will they be able to grow with your business, or will they leave after just a couple of years? Do you have effective tools for managing their performance, rewarding high performers and eliminating poor performers? A people plan gives you people whom you, and your clients, can count on.
	PROCESS Once you find an effective process, how do you reproduce it for the long-term? Now that you are growing, how do you make sure that the new team members deliver the same value that you did? How consistent are your outcomes? Consistent processes lead to predictable results.
	PERFORMANCE MEASURES What performance data should you regularly check in each area of your business (i.e., financial, sales, quality, morale, etc.)? Who's looking at them? What measures exist to ensure your business’ success and effectiveness? How do you decide where you need to spend your time? With performance measures in place we can make changes in our process and see the results improve.
	RECRUITING How can you grow when you have open positions? How can you find time to hire someone when you are doing the work of the person who quit? Isn't there a better way? Plus, recruiters want 20% to 30% of a person's salary; who can afford that? Our candidate sourcing services can provide a ready source of talent at a price designed for small businesses.
