Ground Floor Partners helped us refine our business strategy, and also prepare a formal business plan for debt financing.  The Ground Floor Partners team was very professional and friendly, and they had a good understanding of our industry. Our company is much more structured and growing faster now. Ground Floor Partners has been a major factor in our success. We would definitely hire them again.

We originally contacted Ground Floor Partners because we needed help managing our growth. We were growing quickly and landing lots of business, but we felt our risks were growing as fast as the revenues. We were not sure anyone could really help us, but Ground Floor Partners seemed like a good fit because they listened to our concerns rather than just jumping in with one-size-fits-all solutions. After some discussion we hired Ground Floor Partners to do an operations audit, followed by a series of intense meetings, twice a month for about 6 months, to help us get things under better control. The audit uncovered all of the problems we thought we had, plus a few more. In the end, we needed help with almost every area of our business — hiring and firing, our management team, compensation and retention issues, operations (bookkeeping, construction estimates, job tracking, procedure manuals, etc.). Ground Floor Partners also helped us with marketing and sales. We now spend more of our efforts on profitable jobs and less time on unprofitable ones. We feel confident we are in a better place than we were before. We would definitely recommend Ground Floor Partners.

I first hired Ground Floor Partners several years ago to help me reorganize my business. Although my revenues were not bad, I was frequently short of cash, and the business was more struggle than fun. The first major change was to sell my phone answering service, which had become more trouble than it was worth. I used the proceeds to pay off some debt and build up my cash balance. Since then Ground Floor Partners has helped me restructure the business in other ways. They analyzed my portfolio of services and how they fit the profiles of our best clients, and suggested ways to improve our marketing. As our marketing became more effective, they showed me new ways to cut my expenses. The end result is that our cash flow has improved dramatically. We have better clients now and are getting significant referral business. I can actually leave the business in the capable hands of my staff and take several vacations a year. Without Ground Floor Partners I never would have been able to get to this point.

We had a pretty clear idea of what we wanted, but we needed help organizing our thoughts and preparing a solid business plan to finance and launch our Physical Therapy clinic. Ground Floor Partners was extremely helpful and encouraging throughout the process. We obtained the financing we needed very quickly. Thank you Ground Floor Partners!
