Every competent SME businessman has a fundamental right to grow into a big business! But he finds himself alone with this dream!!
No more!!!
Apohan is the unique consulting company in India that offers the SMEs sophisticated, end-to-end, and customized strategic financial advisory services including equity funding, mergers & acquisitions (M&A) which are traditional privileges of only large players.
We attack exactly all those critical, strategic problems of an SME business, with specific stress on the challenging funding problem, that a technocrat businessman can not be expected to solve.
Condition of SME Business:
An SME Business business person manages too many types of business activities:
- Corporate management: That includes managing the relationships with promoters, shareholders, directors, key lenders, strategic alliances, compliances, etc.
- Technical & operational management: That requires handling project planning, project execution, procurement, operations, repair & maintenance, quality, marketing, business development, sales, distribution channel, R&D, etc.
- Support: The department focus on operational aspect i.e. HR, administration, IT, finance, legal, etc.
These constitute approximately 30 different types of roles played by the SME management even if the set-up is very small. In an SME, all this work is done in absence of an adequate management staff skill and without the support of a well-documented policy framework.
Need for Apohan’s involvement:
This excess of work, lack time with the management & the highly unpredictable, dynamic business environment ultimately lead an SME business to two types of business situations:
- Repayment Default To Lenders /Creditors :
Some or other kind of financial non-performance or default which may end up in a serious financial crisis, loss of control or even liquidation.
- Stagnation:
Inability to grow with meagre internal cash accruals even if the market is growing at a huge rate; there are a plethora of opportunities; there is a high degree of technical competence with the company.
Why should the businesses run by highly competent technocrat & market-savvy entrepreneurs become stagnant, financially unattractive, loss-making or a liability?
This tells of the need for Apohan!!!
Apohan will either prevent this situation or will bring the business back to the normal state.
Apohan’s Role in the Life of a Business:
