One of our challenges today

Many people carry the banner of Risk Management

This form of Risk Management is different from any you have seen before

InsuranceRisk Appetite

Legal risk Investment risk

Page 3: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

As a business advisor…

You have a unique perspective and insight into your clients’ businesses

You may feel they could do better

This may be a way for you to offer more value to your clients

Page 4: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

An opportunity…

To offer an additional value to clients for their success

To add an additional revenue stream

Page 5: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

Their future is...unpredictable

You know how their plans can be turned upside down by the unexpected?

Key employee disabled due to an auto accident

A competitor comes out with a powerful marketing message

An important supplier goes out of business

Their building becomes uninhabitable

The USPS delivery of payments, orders is interrupted

Recovery from each of these costs real dollars

Page 6: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

Wouldn’t it be nice if…

They saw approaching problems from a distance;

Growing problems were recognized early;

They had colleagues on watch for them; and,

Their team already had the plans and organization to deal with them effectively;

Without costing you an arm and a leg?

Page 7: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

Our mission is…

To position you to help them protect hard-earned revenue from going up in the smoke of recovery from the unexpected.

So they don’t spend money just to get back to where they were

Page 8: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

This is about…

A powerful but often overlooked dimension of planning

“What might go wrong?” and

“What can I do about it?”

ANY plan for ANY goals

Strategic, tactical

Even to maintain the status quo

Page 9: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

Wouldn’t it be great if…

Hard earned money was protected from the smoke of recovery

To invest for the future

To take to the bank

Page 10: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

How much are we talking about?

Pareto’s Principle is more often true than not

80% probability: ~ 10 - 15% of revenue

20% probability: catastrophic company failure

There are ample examples of each

in the business press

Page 11: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)

We can help you show them how to…

Turn HINDSIGHT (ouch!)

Into FORESIGHT (goal achievement)

Which is better?

While thinking about the future can be unproductive

The “-if’s” make the future come alive in 3-D

“What-if”, “When-if”, “Who-if”, “How-if”

Page 12: Protect-Biz for business advisors (e.g., CPAs)
