How Do You Manage Your Company's Value? Manage Its Risk!  Growth and profit are important, but ultimately what drives company value is risk. Risk not only determines the value of a company, but it determines whether a company has any value at all.   If you have a challenge or an opportunity that is worth a million dollars or more to get right, and that decision is hard to reverse, talk to Mike. You'll find, as so many business decision-makers have over the years, that you'll receive insights that lead to sound decisions and positive outcomes.  In the two decades Mike has  been advising and appraising businesses, and in the decade before that I spent in venture capital and investment banking, He learned three things that you need to know:  Every company's risk profile is unique. Every company has unique challenges with a unique risk profile. Every company has unique opportunities with a unique risk profile.  Which is why Mike's engagements are custom built for you. Many advisors start with templates so that they can be efficient. Templates are great for efficiency, but they tend to choke off original thinking and they can be used to force comparisons where they are not appropriate.
