Advisory Services

Find, analyse, formulate, detail, value and execute your business growth ideas with the guideance and support from a neutral and experienced manager advisor. Our focus lies on achievable and sustainable growth.

We center our support offering mainly on topics around business growth:

How can business potential be seized and mined and business ideas planned and implemented to hit the market, be assured of succes and sustainable?

Ideally we guide you from finding ideas through to control – however, if preparatory steps are already performed we can also only cover parts of this:

Examples of typical mandates include:

  • Guide start-ups or remote office starts
  • Develop expansion plans in new products/areas
  • Define target customer segments and profiles
  • Define products and offer bundles
  • Develop optimal Marketing measures and options
  • Define and implement Online (web) & offline (print) campaigns
  • Analyse profitability and develop options for improvement
  • Definition of key indicators, porcesses and management systems
  • u.v.m.

In any case, the scope, approach and results will be tailored exactly to your needs.

You are the absolute crack in your domain and as a natural consequence you are  strongly absorbed in your business.

You find it hard in your daily business routine to think about business potential, generate ideas and to bring them forward…

…because most often:

  • you lack the required time and peace
  • you miss crucial bits of expertise
  • you are short of knowledge on how to go about it
  • you lack basic information for decisions
  • you are unsure of the upsides and downsides
  • you think your people alone will not pull it through
  • you miss the ideas and alternatives
  • you don’t know what and how others are doing the same

Often, you simply miss an educated and experienced Sparring Partner and Feedback-Provider helping to test and formulate ideas and get more of the required information.

We possess a substantial industry knowledge and thus can assist in manufacturing, service or trade settings with competence. The size of your business does not matter to us.

We do help in mandates with experience, knowledge, methodology and our time to execute your ideas: efficient entrepreneurial support from man-of-action to man-of-action.

At the very beginning is always an informal non-binding meeting to decide about a mutual collaboration. We use proven methods and techniques to analyse and form solutions. However, every enterprise is different, thus a tailoring of the approach is always necessary. To this end, an offer document is prepared in which goal, scope, approach, results, estimated effort and fee are defined. The same applies for coaching and mentoring mandates.

Despite differences in topic, all mandates are structured according to the following rough steps:

If you just require punctual advice, a sound second opinion to an endeavour, a detailed plan or extensive project and implementation support, we are glad to help you.

Andy Schöpflin, ASI Industriemechanik:

First, we redefined and implemented our website with Frey&Partner. The website is now focussed on target customer groups and presents our offering and strengths to the point. Due to this positive experience, we mutually planned first marketing campaigns – Mr. Frey designed the approach and the used flyers. These campaigns already show first success in the desired form of new deals – I am deeply satisfied. At the moment we are finding new business ideas and ways to increase our turnover short-, mid- and long-term. Mr. Frey’s expertise and systematic approach help us to advance in an efficient manner.
