Consulting Services
Business consulting is a valuable service to business owners as they can obtain expert opinions, guidance and strategy from experienced business consultants with multiple skill areas. Another way to think about consulting is that a consulting relationship is like having a business and management coach. Someone to discuss business results, proposed strategy and possible outcomes. Consulting can be a formidable process for many small businesses. The consulting fees can be expensive and the process can be vague at first.
NYWGF members have support in this critical process. To assist members with questions about their business, overall earnings, costs to produce wine, gross profit, profit analysis, cash flow analysis, and more – we are pleased to offer a new consulting benefit with Farm Credit East (FCE).
After completing the consulting intake questionnaire, FCE staff will schedule and conduct a 60-minute virtual meeting with NYWGF Tier 2 or 3 members to further explore the issues, provide immediate recommendations where appropriate, and pursue a formal engagement, if desired by the member.
Consulting may be obtained in: Financial/business planning, General Benchmarking and Business structure/succession and estate planning.
