Commonly Asked Questions I run a small company that seems to have grown out of control over the last year or so, is there any way to bring things back into focus? I often use Strategic Planning to help define and clarify the company. Many of my clients have started the process and find that the confusion in the company starts to fade away as they start looking at each separate component of the company and then develop methods to chip away at the problems one by one. I am starting a company and need to create a simple business plan so I can start my business. Is this something I should hire a consultant to do? I have no money. I usually recommend that new business startups see initial assistance from the Delta College Small Business Development Center in Stockton. They have an excellent booklet that explains the process of starting the business and getting all of the necessary permits and licenses. Once you have written the business plan, it might be helpful to pay a small consulting fee to review the plan and make some suggestions. I run a small retail company that seems to be going nowhere. My customer base is not growing and I need to see revenue grow. What can I do? I suggest that you bring in an outside consultant to review your business practices. Most retail operations have problems that cannot be seen by the owner, but are seen by the customers. A consultant can evaluate your business and make some recommendations for improvement..
